Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 zucchini large
  • Italian olive oil
  • 8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
  • 6-8 cocktail tomatoes
  • 1/4 pound smoked applewood bacon
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 4 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano
  • kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and bacon, bake until crisp. Set bacon aside on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the grease. Cool the bacon and dice.
  2. Note: Partially frozen bacon makes it much easier to dice.
  3. Slice zucchini in 1-inch rounds. Brush olive oil on zucchini and grill until you have grill-marked both sides. Remove zucchini from the grill and place it on a small sheet pan. With a melon baller, hollow out one side of the zucchini enough to create blue cheese well. (About half of the zucchini center)
  4. Fill rounds with blue cheese, sprinkle diced bacon, and top with a 1/4-inch cocktail slice of tomato. Finish with a grating of Parmigiano Reggiano
  5. Garnish with fresh chives and kosher salt.
