Steps:
- Place zucchini in a microwave-safe pan, cut-side down. Add about 1 inch of water to the bottom of the pan. Cook in the microwave oven for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Remove zucchini from the microwave and add to the boiling water. Cook until desired softness, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine whole wheat bread, cayenne peppers, jalapeno pepper, bacon, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, seasoned salt, onion salt, black pepper, and basil in a bowl until filling is combined.
- Drain zucchini and cool until safe to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Scoop out zucchini pulp to about 1/4-inch from the skin and add to filling. Use an electric mixer to mix. Stuff zucchini halves with filling and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle dry bread crumbs on top.
- Broil under high heat until tops start to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

SPICY ZUCCHINI BOATS WITH TOMATO & PEPPER JACK
The garden is currently bursting with zucchini and tomatoes and this is one of my favorite ways to use it up. These are cheesy, sweet, salty and spicy all in one bite. I typically have them as a snack but they are also perfect as a side dish.
