Baked Stuffed Zucchini image

This is not a very healthy dish, but wow is it tasty. I came up with this recipe because I was always waiting for the zucchini in my garden to be "just the right size" next thing I knew I had these ginormous zucchini. There is only so much zucchini bread that you can make... I used grape tomatoes from my garden too.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large zucchini
1/2 small onion sliced
10 grap or cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 c butter
1 c italian bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
sliced fresh mozzerella

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Wash zucchini well, remove stem, and cut in half the long way. Scoop out seeds to leave a well in the center of the fruit. Place skin down on a baking dish of appropriate size for four halves. (The picture shows some special zucchini that I picked up at the farm stand. The green one is an eight ball zucchini, which I originally made the recipe for.)
  • 3. In a small pan melt butter and add bread crumbs and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • 4. Place slices of onion in each zucchini half. Cover with bread crumb mixture and then decoratively place tomato halves on top.
  • 5. Cook until the zuchini is soft, approximately 30 minutes. If the vegetables are getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil until soft.
  • 6. Add slices of fresh mozzerella to the top and broil for 2-5 minutes until cheese just starts to melt. (You can use shredded if fresh mozzerella is not available, it still tastes great!)
