Directions:Pre-heat oven to 350º. Slice zucchini into 1/2" discs and scoop a little bowl into the center of each zucchini round using a spoon. Place on a sheet pan. In a bowl, mix feta, tomato, herbs, onion, vinegar, zest and olive oil. Stir to incorporate, taste, and adjust ingredients as needed. Feel free to add extra herbs, vinegar or olive oil to suit your tastes. Mound a bit of the feta mixture into each zucchini bowl. Bake at 350º for 15 minutes. Let rest for a couple of minutes to cool down. |

Notes: Lightly baking this appetizer results in perfectly buttery and tender zucchini with fluffy feta that's melted ever so slightly. It's warm, zesty, and scrumptious......just like Gigi.
Chef Jacques Pepin's latest cookbook is the inspiration for this appetizer. He microwaves his zucchini and then adds the toppings of cheese, olive oil and herbs. Play around with the herb combination. Taste as you go and do what you like. Whether baked or nuked they're both tasty. Let the kids help with this.
