that looks fabulous, lesley. something new to do with summer squash. you can only eat so much fried or grilled zukes, and zuke bread, and primavera, and ratatouille.

thanks. copied and saved.
 
What a great recipe idea. I've alway felt zucchini to be somewhat bland but the cheese and bacon would change it completely.
 
:a1: You already know that I like this recipe! I was thinking.....:idea:.....wonder what would happen if browned ground beef was substituted for the bacon? I know it wouldn't be as good (absolutely nothing beats bacon:mrgreen:), but it would fit nicely in this week's Iron Chef. What do you think????

Hi Cooksie,
I don't see why not. I've put up ground beef burger with stuffed cheese, so there's 2 of the ingredients already, also the courgettes (zucchini) has sauteed onion in it...I think your recipe would do just nicely..also we have those stuffed burgers & courgettes at the same time when we do BBQ's :respect:
 
This reminds me of potato skins, but with a twist (the breadcrumbs).
It sounds very good, Lesley. This makes two ways that I've read today to make zucchini. Cool.
