- 2 large zucchini
- 1 Boursin Garlic and Herb (5oz package)
- ⅓ cup panko
- Olive oil (or olive oil spray)
- Fresh pepper
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.
- 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.
