The ultimate feta cheese dip may be found here. It is extremely sour, salty, and highly addictive. It’s a common comment that people wish they could lick the bowl. Excellent with souvlaki, on pitas, or as a dip.

| Cook Time: | 35 mins |
| Total Time: | 50 mins |
| Servings: | 3 |
| Yield: | 6 zucchini boats |
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 3 zucchini
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 drizzle olive oil
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off of the bottoms so that they will sit flat in the baking dish. Scoop out the centers, where the seeds are, with a spoon.
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a cup or bowl. Brush over the inner surfaces of the zucchini boats. Arrange tomatoes into the grooves and sprinkle bread crumbs around and in between to fill in the gaps.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven’s broiler on.
- Place mozzarella cheese around and on top of the tomatoes. Return to the oven and broil until golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- You can use shredded Fontina cheese instead of mozzarella.

Love, Love, Loved these! Quick, easy, and guilt free eating!! This dish was a true treat of healthy meets super good flavor!!! The cooking time of the zucchini was perfect to keep them a slightly crunchy. If using medium size zucchini the tomatoes and bread crumbs can be reduced almost by half. If you are looking for a snack or appetizer 1 per person is perfect. This can make a great entrée with 2-3 per person.
