I made this for breakfast this morning, and I really enjoyed it. The pepperoni made things a bit greasy, though. I did sprinkle the shell with a dusting of garlic powder before I put the mixture into the shells. Thanks for the recipe.

I took the basics of this recipe, and really tweeked it a lot. I did use some pepperoni, but also used sweet itaian sausage, added mushrooms, garlic, and red bell pepper. Also, after scooping the meat of the zucchini out, I put a layer of grated mozarella inside the skins, then added the remaining ingredients. This gave the sausage, pepperoni, and the rest of the fillng something to grab on to. I finished by topping with fresh romano cheese.

Good recipe. I used a bit more pepperoni and added diced roma tomatoes. I also used a 4 cheese Italian blend from the supermarket. It came out a bit overstuffed though, next time I'll have to use 3 zucchini.

This recipe was very good and easy! I did bake the hollowed out zucchinis for 20 minutes at 370 since I don't like biting into crunchy zucchini, but other than that I didn't change it at all. Since I baked it twice the shells came out nice and tender and the filling in it was simple and wonderful. My husband and I really liked it, but the two year old didn't so much...oh well, we'll have it again for sure! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Singingchef!

I liked this one because it's so different than what I am used to. I used the green can parm. cheese I think it would be better with shredded parm and not the powdered stuff. I added parsley to the top and garlic powder and italian seasoning to the onion pepp. mixture.

This looks great, my family like more of a meat meal. Really do not think I will make it again. Sorry...

My zucchini were quite large but I kept the "filling" ingredients the same. I used turkey pepperoni and I did add a little basil and oregano to the "filling" ingredients. I served this with leftover plain-no-sauce BBQ chicken and homemade marinara sauce (The Best Marinara Sauce) also from this site. I really enjoyed this, though my family was kind of quiet about it. I might make this again just for me, for lunches during the week. With two large zucchini and the filling the same, this served four. I think this could work with italian sausage, too.

I also put the cream cheese in the bottom, and I also used bacon instead of the pepperoni. Enjoyed it this way, would make it again.

Eh, I am starting to think I am just not a zucchini person. I went ahead and added some salt and pepper while cooking the filling, and also added some to the zucchini shells before cooking. While the filling was pretty tasty, I couldn't stand the raw-ish taste of the shell. On to another low-carb side!
