Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini

- Add the scallions, bread and grated cheese and stir the mixture before adding the egg and stirring until the mixture is well combined.
- Spoon the filling into the hollowed out channels you made earlier.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese then drizzle each half with about a teaspoon of olive oil
- Bake it for 25 minutes at 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C
