ZUCCHINI BOATS STUFFED WITH BACON, BREADCRUMBS & CHEESE!





THIS RECIPE MADE 4 BOATS!
SLICE 2 ZUCCHINIS IN HALF LENGTHWISE.  SCOOP OUT THE INSIDES WITH A SPOON.  DRIZZLE THE BOATS WITH SOME OIL, SALT & PEPPER.  LAY ON A BAKING SHEET LINED WITH NONSTICK FOIL.

CHOP UP THE ZUCCHINI YOU SCOOPED OUT.  

PAN FRY 4-5 SLICES CHOPPED BACON.  ADD  1/2 ONION, CHOPPED, 4 CHOPPED GARLIC CLOVES AND SAUTEE ALL IN THE PAN UNTIL BROWNED.  ADD SOME OLIVE OIL IF NEEDED.  REMOVE TO COOL.

IN A BOWL MIX:
1 EGG
1/2C. PARMESAN CHEESE, GRATED
1/2C. BREAD CRUMBS (I USED ALEIA'S GLUTEN FREE)
ONCE COOL, ADD THE VEGGIES AND STIR WELL
MOUND THIS MIXTURE ON TOP OF EACH BOAT AND BAKE AT 425 FOR ABOUT 12-15 MINS UNTIL LIGHTLY BROWN.  PILE ON SOME SHREDDED MOZZARELLA CHEESE  ( OR ANY KIND YOU LIKE) AND BROIL JUST 2 MINUTES UNTIL MELTED-KEEP AN EYE ON IT!  TOP WITH CHOPPED SCALLIONS!
