Despite the fact that I was distracted while making this (the phone rang) and didn't put any herbs or seasoning in the zucchini filling, this was still a great recipe! The bulgar base and cheese topping, I did get right and they are fab. DH wants me to try them with other fillings too. He suggests a butternut squash filling would work well. I think so too.
