Olive-Cheese Zucchini Boats image

I WAS ANXIOUS the first time I tried this recipe, wondering if my family would like it. It was a big hit, though, and I was happy to find another idea for serving this prolific garden vegetable. I serve it most often with chicken. It adds so much color to the plate. -Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas

I love the idea of this recipe, but I found it to be a little too oily. I think I would try using less olive oil next time.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and oregano to give it more flavor.
