Directions:Preheat oven to 450°F.
1. Trim off the ends of each zucchini. Cut each in half crosswise. Cut each piece in
half lengthwise and steam until tender. Leaving the shell at least ¼ inch thick, scoop out center of zucchini and place in heavy skillet. There should be about 1½ cups.
2. Add butter, onions and garlic to heavy skillet and cook briefly, stirring. Cook about 3 minutes until the excess moisture evaporates. 3. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and let cool slightly. Add 1 cup Ritz crackers and cheese and blend thoroughly. Stir in the eggs.
4. With 1 tablespoon of the oil, brush the inside of a baking dish big enough to hold the shells in one layer. Spoon an equal portion of the filling into each shell and smooth over the top.
5. Blend the remaining 2 tablespoon Ritz cracker crumbs with the remaining 2 tablespoon of cheese and sprinkle over the top of the stuffed zucchini boats. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoon of oil. Place the dish in the oven and bake 25 minutes. Serve immediately. (Note: Cut the finished zucchini in half to serve more people.) |
