I made these the other day and I wish I would have taken a picture. They were really yummy. Actually I had planned to stop doing this blog. I know, I just started it but I was feeling a little overwhelmed at the time. I think I;m better now. lol. So I hope someone is going to visit here. I did this recipe for 2 since it's just hubby and me, but most of my recipes are for more.
Baked Zucchini Boats
2 Medium Zucchini
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper
garlic (I used about a teaspoon of the jar stuff that's chopped
1 slice of 4.5 carb bread ground to bread crumbs
1 egg
heavy cream
1/3 cup Italian blend cheese
Directions:
Half the zucchini and set aside the insides
Brown the onions and bell pepper and insides from zucchini in a skillet with 1 tbls of oil or butter
In the meantime I run the bread through the food processor and put it in a medium bowl
Add the cheese and egg and garlic to the bowl.
After the onions and pepper have cooled a little, add them to the bowl and stir.
Stir in the cheese
Then I just add enough cream so the mixture will clump together. Fill the zucchini with the mixture just over the edges.
Then I sprinkle some more Italian blend cheese over the tops and bake at 350 for about 20-25 minuets.
Check tenderness with a fork. Remove and enjoy!
I think this side goes with just about anything. I had them with Bar b que chicken.
You can make them a meal in themselves by adding ground meat or sausage. Make more by just doubling everything.
I hope you make them and like them as much as we did. Let me know.
