Spicy Zucchini Boats

By PATPAT

Ingredients

• Stuffing:
• 4 Small Zucchini
• 4 oz Light Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 C Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
• 1/2 C Parmesan Cheese, shredded
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tsp Dried Chives

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise to make boats. Blanch zucchini in boiling, salted water, 2 minutes. Drain, then immediately immerse zucchini in an ice bath. Drain thoroughly; blot excess water with paper towels. Using a knife or small spoon, carefully hollow out zucchini by removing some of its pulp. (Leave at least a 1/4 inch wall.) Combine cheeses, cayenne pepper and chives in mixing bowl. Stuff zucchini with cheese mixture. Place in lightly-greased baking dish. Bake until squash is heated through, and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.
