Ingredients
2-3 zucchinis, cut lengthwise
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 TBS olive oil
Mozzarella cheese, grated
bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese, grated
Basil, julienned
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. You might want to cut a bit off the bottom of the zucchini so that it lays flat. Scoop out the seeds
- Make a mixture of olive oil and crushed garlic…about 1 garlic clove and+ 1 TBS olive oil (for 4-6 zucchini halves). Reserve a bit of the olive oil for later. Brush the inside of the zucchini with the olive oil and garlic. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper.
- Cut grape tomatoes in half lengthwise and place inside of the zucchini. Sprinkle some bread crumbs (I used fresh). Drizzle some of the reserved olive oil over the tomatoes and bread crumbs.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes (I used my toaster oven at 450 for about 15 minutes or until the zucchini had somewhat softened. Remove from oven and add cheese in between the tomatoes.
- Broil for a couple of minutes or so…or until golden and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with some chopped fresh basil. Top with a bit of Parmesan. I just added the Parmesan with the mozzarella cheese before broiling. You can sprinkle more Parmesan cheese before serving.
