Zucchini boats

[vaneramos]

This was my lunch today, with a couple chopped mushrooms added. Makes a side dish for two. My daughter, Marian, likes these, too. Endless variations and substitutions are possible. I like to serve it with hash browns.

1 medium zucchini
1 teaspoon oil
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
dash pepper
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup cheddar cheese, grated

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp and chop it. Microwave the shells on high for two minutes, or steam in a pot with a little water until tender.

Heat oil in a pan. Sauté garlic, onion and pulp until tender. Add eggs and pepper and scramble.

Scoop egg mixture into shells, sprinkle with cheese and place under broiler for three or four minutes.

That sounds lovely...and to someone who doesn't like zucchini, in general. I'll have to try it out.

I can't imagine why anyone would particularly like zucchini, but these are good. :)
