Makes 12 Goat Cheese Stuffed Summer Squash Halves
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 green or yellow summer squash
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 6 oz goat cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
Preparation:
Cut the summer squash in half to make 12 rounds. Trim the bottoms slightly if necessary so they sit flat. Using a spoon, or melon baller, scoop out about a 1/4-inch depression in cut side of each squash. Arrange cut side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Salt and pepper generously, and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Crumble a tablespoon of cheese on each squash. Combine the breadcrumbs and the remaining oil, and sprinkle evenly over the tops.Bake in a 400 degree F. oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are browned and the squash tender, but still a bit firm.
