This was good. I think the amount of breadcrumbs needed depends on the size of the zucchini. I used a HUGE one from my garden, and could have used more breadcrumbs. We felt this was kind of bland, but when we added some spaghetti sauce, that gave us the extra flavor we were looking for. Great recipe, thanks for posting. -
Simple and yummy - just how I like it! -
Great recipe, was a hit for all and so easy to make! -
This made an excellant appetizer, we enjoyed it very much. I just did one zucchini for the two of us because we had stuffed eggs also. I will make these again, but next time I will cut the bread crumbs to about half the amount called for; I goofed with the parmesan, I put it on before I put it in the oven, didn't matter , it was still very good! I used white wine for the liquid, very nice flavour! Thanks for posting. -
I really liked this but for me it was a bit too heavy on the bread crumbs. I am definitely going to be making this again and experimenting with the breadcrumb ratio :D Thanks for sharing!! :D

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
