Deviled Egg Boats Recipe For Zucchini

EGG STUFFED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Scoop pulp out of zucchini halves, leaving a 1/4-inch border, using a spoon. Chop pulp and set aside.
• Place zucchini shells, cut-side down, in a large skillet; pour in water. Cover skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until zucchini are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water from skillet and turn zucchini shells over in the skillet and sprinkle with salt.
• Heat margarine in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini pulp and tomato in the melted margarine until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir eggs, walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and basil into tomato mixture; cook, lifting thickened portions with spatula to let uncooked portions of egg flow to bottom, until eggs are set but still moist, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spoon egg mixture into zucchini shells. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over egg mixture and cover skillet. Cook over low heat until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

DEVILED EGG BOATS

Steps:

• Peel the eggs; slice each one in half to make boats.
• Place the yolks in a medium-sized bowl and mash them with a fork.
• Add the mustard and the vinegar.
• Add the mayonnaise, stirring until the consistency is smooth but not soupy.
• Next, make the sails. To do this, cut each pepper into 1-inch-wide strips, then cut the strips into 1-inch squares and slice each square in half diagonally.
• Fill the egg-white halves with the yolk mixture.
• Stick the sail upright into the filling and sprinkle with paprika.
• Makes two dozen.

ZUCCHINI WITH EGG

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute zucchini until tender, about 10 minutes. Season zucchini with salt and black pepper.
• Beat eggs with a fork in a bowl; add water and beat until evenly combined. Pour eggs over zucchini; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled and no longer runny, about 5 minutes. Season zucchini and eggs with salt and black pepper.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season the zucchini halves with salt and pepper. Add to the baking sheet and turn to coat with the oil. Arrange the zucchini cut-side down in a single layer. Roast until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook 30 seconds. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and chicken broth until combined. Cook until the broth is reduced to a thick sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the zucchini boats cut-side up and fill with the turkey mixture, packing it in. Sprinkle with the cheese and roast until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is softened, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the zucchini boats with the yogurt mixture and top with the dill.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scrape out the flesh so they resemble boats. Place the zucchini boats in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Chop the flesh and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sweet and hot Italian sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic and chopped zucchini flesh. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
• Combine the parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs and parsley in a medium bowl. Mound the sausage mixture into the zucchini boats. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top. Bake until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Trim and discard zucchini ends. Working with the 3 widest, cut across width into 2inch lengths. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out inner meat and seeds of each 2-inch piece, leaving a thin base at bottom so "boat" stands for stuffing. Place scooped-out centers into a food processor.
• Roughly chop remaining zucchini. Add to food processor and puree until well chopped.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch zucchini boats just until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Immediately refresh in a bowl of iced water. Drain and arrange, flatside down, in a large jelly roll pan or roasting pan.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add reserved chopped zucchini and saute until liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in nuts, cook for 1 minute, then add cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook until cream thickens, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and all bread crumbs. Remove from heat and stir until smooth.
• Using a tablespoon or pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, stuff zucchini boats with cream mixture. Pour boiling water into pan containing filled zucchini boats until it rises about 1/4-inch, to form a water bath. Bake 15 minutes.
• Heat broiler. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over tops and place under broiler until slightly golden, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI BOATS STUFFED WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Use a melon baller to remove center core of seeds from each zucchini half, leaving hollowed out shells with about a 1/2-inch border of flesh. Set aside shells and chop flesh roughly. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and add shallots, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes until soft and slightly golden. Add chopped zucchini centers, 1 cup of corn and the limas and saute over high heat 46 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, place remaining 1/4 cup corn, cheese and egg. Process to blend thoroughly. Remove to a large bowl and mix in cooled corn/lima mixture. Divide the mixture among the zucchini shells, mounding up slightly. Place stuffed zucchini in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for 20 minutes, remove the foil, and bake for another 10 minutes until filling is puffed up and firm and zucchini are soft. Remove from oven and serve 2 boats per person.

ITALIAN-STYLE ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Drizzle olive oil on zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini is fork-tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• While zucchini is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef with onion and garlic until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic salt.
• Combine tomato paste with 1 cup of water in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly. Drain fat from beef mixture if needed. Add tomato paste mixture and heat through. Turn off heat, add fresh basil leaves, and mix until well blended.
• Remove zucchini from the oven; leave the oven on. Scoop meat mixture generously into each zucchini quarter and sprinkle each with mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
