Recipe Summary Cheddar-Rosemary Zucchini Boats

Zucchini boats filled with bread stuffing that are made savory with rosemary, Cheddar cheese, and tomato.

Ingredients | Can You Freeze Zucchini Boats

¾ tablespoon butter

¾ tablespoon olive oil

3 cups crusty bread cubes

2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic

2 zucchini

¾ tablespoon butter

¾ tablespoon olive oil

1 ½ cups chopped plum (Roma) tomatoes

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 egg, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt 3/4 tablespoon butter with 3/4 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bread cubes in the butter mixture, tossing gently to coat, until fragrant and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic to the bread; cook and stir together for 1 minute. Remove to a plate and set aside to cool.

Slice zucchini lengthwise with stem and flower ends intact. Use a small spoon to hollow out squash, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Place squash boats in a large baking dish. Coarsely chop zucchini innards.

Melt 3/4 tablespoon butter with 3/4 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir zucchini innards, tomatoes, rosemary, salt, and pepper in the butter mixture until the vegetables soften, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and mix with the bread cubes, Cheddar cheese, and beaten egg. Fill the hollowed zucchini halves with the vegetable mixture. Arrange stuffed zucchini boats into a baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove and switch oven to broil. Cook under the broiler until golden brown and bubbling on top, 2 to 3 minutes.
