Zucchinis stuffed with kopanisti cheese

Kopanisti is a cheese from Mykonos with the texture of ricotta, but the sharpness of blue cheese. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase it in Australia, so Maria has created her own version by combining blue-vein with ricotta. This dish is great on its own, but it also makes an excellent side dish.

Ingredients

  • 200 g fresh ricotta cheese
  • 80 g blue vein cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp dill, chopped
  • 4 large zucchinis, halved lengthways

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine cheeses, dill and some pepper in a large bowl.

Using a teaspoon, scoop out a little of the zucchini flesh to hollow out the vegetables. Add to the cheese mixture. Stuff zucchinis with mixture, then place in a baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes or until the zucchinis are tender and cheese is golden brown.

Serve immediately.
