This recipe with cheese is a great choice for a second course. The type of zucchini used (round) is not very common, but you can also do this recipe with a current long zucchini, as long as you are careful, of course. ;)
This recipe is easy and quick, with not so many ingredients; you just have to make sure that the quality of these is good enough in order to improve the flavour of the dish.
Ingredients:
- 4 round (when possible) zucchini
- Sierra de Albarracin cheese (either blue label, green label or wine cheese)
- 4 eggs
- Ham, salami or something similar… to taste
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions:
Wash the zucchini, cut the upper side and then with a spoon empty the zucchini. If it´s not rounded, cut the pieces not longer than 2.5 in. and leave as bottom around 0.2 or 0.3 in. of zucchini.
Pour some water with salt in a pot and then boil the zucchini, upper side included. Once it´s well cooked, strain and let cool down for a while.
Time to fill the zucchini with little pieces of ham, salami, etc… and also Sierra de Albarracín cheese:
The type of cheese chosen for the recipe is up to you, but here are our suggestions:
- BLUE LABEL for normal tender cheese taste. (This type of cheese was awarded with s Super-Gold medal the last Wolrd Cheese Awards 2012)
- GREEN LABEL (with rosemary) to add a Mediterranean touch.
- WINE CHEESE to make something totally different and surprise.
To finish the filling, add a whole egg in each zucchini and season to taste.
Put all the zucchini pieces in a pre-heated oven 180ºC (360ºF) for about 30 minutes.
The last but best step is to enjoy what you´ve cooked ;)
We are sure you will love this recipe and will cook it occasionally. From our part we assure the cheese will add a special touch to the whole dish.
