Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Zucchini Boats

IngredientsJalepenoBoat-600x500.png

  • 2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound)
  • 6 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons light tub-style cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons light sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped jarred jalapeño peppers
  • 4 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds to form zucchini boats. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1 minute. Blot any moisture from the zucchini with a paper towel, and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, place Cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños, and stir well with a fork until smooth. Spread about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture in each of the zucchini boats.
  4. Place the stuffed zucchini on a baking sheet, sprinkle each boat evenly with 1 tablespoon of the breadcrumbs, spray well with cooking spray, and bake for 25 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown. Let cool slightly before digging in!
