Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium zucchini
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup chopped turkey pepperoni
1/2 cup pizza cheese blend (2 oz)
3 tablespoons Progresso™ Italian style bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or foil.
  • Cut end off each zucchini, then cut each into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Using small spoon, scoop out the flesh, without going through the bottom, and discard or save for another use.
  • In medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, Italian seasoning, olives, bell pepper, pepperoni and half of the cheese. Fill each zucchini cup with 1 to 2 spoonfuls filling. Place on cookie sheet. Top each with bread crumbs.
  • Bake 20 minutes. Top with remaining cheese. Bake about 20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
