Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients:
8 inch zucchini (here I used Mexican zucchini)
3 or 4 eggs
1 cup bread cubes
sauteed mushrooms
bacon or sausage
bell peppers
jalapenos
onion
cheese
salt, pepper
Optional: chives or other fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
Prep stuffing the night before:
-
Cook and drain bacon or sausage. Set aside.
-
Sautee mushrooms, peppers and onion and put into a bowl with bread cubes; add sausage.
-
In a separate bowl whisk eggs and then add them to the bread/veg mixture.
-
Cover and let the egg/bread/veg mixture sit overnight in the fridge.
​
Prior to cooking, prep zucchini:
-
Wash, dry, slice in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the middle of the zucchini leaving about a 1/4 inch rim all around.
-
Salt the inside then lay cut side down on a paper towel. Let sit for 10 minutes then pat dry.
-
Stuff zucchini with egg mixture. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Cook time depends on how large your zucchini is and what texture you want in the end.
-
Top with cheese immediately and then with fresh herbs.
