Other things than oars, jackets and booze go into this boat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What is it about a really easy recipe that makes me turn away sometimes. Sometimes I feel like a recipe with just a few ingredients won’t be big on taste. That was not true with this recipe.<\/p>\n

The one thing I should have changed is that I used small zucchini the first time I made these over Easter and they were so good, I wanted more. I was afraid I had scooped out too much of the flesh and wouldn’t have enough “boat” to hold the other ingredients. They turned out fine, but bigger would have been better in this case.<\/p>\n

I loved the fontina in this dish. I was tempted to use pieces of string cheese only because I have a ton of left from Christmas. Not much I would change about this recipe either. Loved it just the way it was written other than I added some Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs.<\/p>\n

I found this recipe at Proud Italian Cook<\/a> and I think the only change I made was to add the Parmesan cheese in with the bread crumbs.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/span><\/strong> Truffled Parmesan Frites <\/a>was a favorite at some of the cocktail parties I catered.<\/p>\n

Use a small melon baller or a smaller and scoop out enough of the inside so the tomato halves have a place to rest.<\/p>\n

Top the zucchini with 4-5 grape tomato halves.<\/p>\n

Brush the zucchini and tomatoes with the garlic\/olive oil mixture and sprinkle with bread crumb\/Parmesan cheese mixture.<\/p>\n

Cut your basil into julienne strips and have your fontina cheese cut in small pieces. Set aside.<\/p>\n

After your zucchini have cooked about 30 minutes, remove from oven and place a small piece of cheese in between the tomato halves.  (If you have any left over bread crumbs\/cheese mixture, sprinkle more over the cheese before putting in the broiler.) Run under the broiler until nice and bubbly brown.<\/p>\n
