The oven-baked stuffed zucchini are a fairly easy-to-prepare recipe, however, when you fill the zucchini with a suitable filling.
In many of the stuffed zucchini recipes you will find a common filling, which is eggs with white cheese and milk. This type of stuffing is suitable for this vegetable and if you use it, you should know that you can directly fill the zucchini with it and place them in the oven, because then it is baked at the same time as the zucchini.
If you use another type of stuffing, which includes minced meat, for example, you must have prepared it before filling the zucchini with it, because this type of stuffing requires heat treatment in advance, such as frying the raw minced meat or meat, because the baking time for the zucchini and these types of stuffing is not the same and therefore the recipe itself will not work.
Whatever filling you choose, be sure to consider the preparation time for the filling and the baking time.
The time for baking the already filled zucchini depends entirely on the process of boiling and the evaporation of the water on the bottom (about one finger or a finger and a half depending on the size of the zucchini). Typically, the time to bake stuffed zucchini is about 30 minutes.
It is important to choose zucchini of equal thickness and length. When the water boils and starts to evaporate from the bottom, you can pierce the zucchini with a toothpick, in order to check if they are ready. The stick should be able to enter and come out of the vegetable easily.
Take the baking pan out of the oven, then sprinkle them with yellow cheese, bake them a little longer - a few minutes, until they're ready and enjoy a delicious meal.
