Easy Stuffed Zucchini image

I love this recipe - it's so great - even my 8 month old son ate this! I just peeled some of the skin off the zucchini and he loved it all - even the filling! Very yummy. You can use any cheese for the top - I use what I have on hand - you can easily cut this recipe in half - I have - enjoy!
