Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
75 mL (1/3 cup) roasted red peppers from a jar, drained, rinsed, patted dry and chopped
120 g (1 cup) Armstrong Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
30 mL (2 Tbsp.) bread crumbs

Directions

Cut each zucchini into 8 slices 2 cm (3/4 in) thick.
With a small spoon, scoop out some of the flesh from each slice to create a small cavity. Take care not to pierce the bottom. Keep the zucchini flesh for another recipe.
In a steamer basket, steam the zucchini slices for 4 minutes until they are cooked al dente.
Rinse under cold water and drain well on paper towels.
In a bowl, combine the peppers, Cheddar Cheese, salt and pepper. Place some stuffing in each zucchini slice and arrange on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Preheat the broiler.
Broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

* To get 8 uniform slices, start by cutting the zucchini in half. Cut each piece in half and then cut each quarter in half again.
