Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 zucchini, halved lengthwise
½ cup water
salt to taste
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup chopped tomato
4 eggs, beaten
½ cup toasted chopped walnuts
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Scoop pulp out of zucchini halves, leaving a 1/4-inch border, using a spoon. Chop pulp and set aside.
  • Place zucchini shells, cut-side down, in a large skillet; pour in water. Cover skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until zucchini are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water from skillet and turn zucchini shells over in the skillet and sprinkle with salt.
  • Heat margarine in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini pulp and tomato in the melted margarine until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir eggs, walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and basil into tomato mixture; cook, lifting thickened portions with spatula to let uncooked portions of egg flow to bottom, until eggs are set but still moist, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Spoon egg mixture into zucchini shells. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over egg mixture and cover skillet. Cook over low heat until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my egg mixture turned out runny. I had to cook it for a lot longer than the recipe said.

The zucchini were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and Italian seasoning to the egg mixture and it helped a lot.

I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! I used a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and added some chopped spinach to the egg mixture. The zucchini were perfectly tender and the filling was cheesy and flavorful.
