Baked Stuffed Zucchini
2 medium zucchinis, about 1 pound
2 T butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T finely chopped onion
2 cups soft bread cubes (really good made with Cheddar Sage Bread)
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt and pepper
optional: shredded cheddar cheese mixed in stuffing or on top
Wash zucchini; cook whole in a small amount of boiling water for about 8 minutes. Drain and cut into halves lengthwise. Scoop out pulp; chop. Melt butter in a heavy skillet, sauté garlic and onion for a minute, or until onion is tender; stir in chopped zucchini pulp, bread cubes, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
Stuff zucchini with bread mixture. Place zucchini in a greased baking dish and bake at 350° for 20 minutes, or until zucchini is tender.
Alternately, use whole chopped zucchinis, bake in casserole dish.
Serves 4.
