Baked Zucchini Boats with Blue Cheese and Parmesan

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the zucchini into 3/4-inch thick slices. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the insides of the zucchini slices, leaving the bottom intact to create 'boats'.

2. 2

   Place the zucchini boats on an ungreased baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of crumbled blue cheese into each boat.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and black pepper. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the blue cheese in the zucchini boats.

4. 4

   Top each zucchini boat with a slice of cherry tomato, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan mixture over the top.

5. 5

   Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is tender. Serve the baked zucchini boats warm.
