Zucchini Boats

Ingredients:
Zucchini
Garlic (crushed)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Italian style breadcrumbs
Grape tomatoes (halved)
Mozzarella cheese (diced)
Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and slice a small bit from the bottom so that it lays flat in a baking dish. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. In the spooned out middle, include crushed garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper (to taste). Place tomatoes in center and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and place mozzarella in between where the tomatoes are. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake until cheese is golden.

My mother would make these a long time ago in the summer, using her tomatoes and zucchini from the garden outside. I now make it for my daughter. It is a great side and perfect for the summer!
