ZUCCHINI AND BACON BAKE

Steps:

• Before you start, you need to know that, you can speed up the preparation time if you use a food processor to grate the cheese and zucchini, and chop the onion.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients -- in the order listed. Mix well after each addition.
• Put everything in an 11" x 7" pan. A 9" x 13" pan works, too.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Check the bottom. It sometimes browns faster.

BACON HERB ZUCCHINI

TERRY'S FETA-BACON ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Cut ends off top and bottom of zucchini; then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out a little of the middle (helps topping stay in place).

• Prepare topping: mix together garlic, parsley, black pepper, bacon and feta.
• Place topping evenly over all 8 pieces of zucchini.
• Sprinkle tops with Parmesan Cheese.
• Bake 350 for 20-24 minutes or until a fork inserted into the zucchini feels tender.
