These are prevalent in northern CA gardens. My sis cuts the top off (remove seeds if you wish, usually mild enough as is) and stuffs with half a wedge of Laughing Cow Lite cheese and a dab of gorgonzola. Microwave standing upright in a Pyrex measuring cup until the cheese softens, approx 30 sec. Easy, yummy low-cal appetizer for one or two peeps. I prefer LF herb cheese/cream cheese.
