Servings: 4 people
Calories: 37kcal
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 Boursin Garlic and Herb (5oz package)
- ⅓ cup panko
- Olive oil (or olive oil spray)
- Fresh pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out a shallow boat in the center, about ¼". Don't scoop too deep or you'll need a lot more cheese to fill it.
- Using a knife spread ¼ of the Boursin cheese into each zucchini, leveling off the top. Sprinkle with panko and fresh pepper and place on a baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or drizzle with a light coating.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the panko is starting to turn golden brown. It usually takes me 20 minutes for very large zucchini.
- If panko is not golden brown, turn the broiler to high heat and place under it (about 6 inches away) for 30 seconds or until the panko becomes a nice golden brown. Don't look away...it can burn easily! Serve warm.
Notes
- For gluten free, use gluten free panko brands like Jeff's or Aleia's.
- For low carb/keto, use crushed pork rinds instead of panko.
- For smaller zucchini, an air fryer is an option. Cook for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees.
