Zucchini stuffed with cheese Sierra de Albarracin (blue label, green label with Rosemary or wine cheese)

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 ;)
