Feta Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Author: Michelle
Serves: 4 - 6
- 1 pound zucchini
- ½ medium onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons feta, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 375ยบ F.
- Cut each zucchini lengthwise then scoop out the center pulp (reserve the pulp as will be used in the filling).
- In a small skillet, melt the butter then add the onion and zucchini pulp.
- Cook the veggies for about 3 - 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in the feta and breadcrumbs.
- Taste the stuffing and season with the salt and pepper as desired.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture.
- Spoon the mixture in the zucchini cavities and sprinkle with the parmesan.
- Place in a casserole dish and bake for 35 - 45 minutes until the zucchini is tender and cheese is lightly browned.
Tip: Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out the zucchini. I like to cross hatch the zucchini to make it easier to scoop. Recipe by I Heart Kitchen at https://www.iheartkitchen.com/feta-stuffed-zucchini-boats/
