Crunchy Zucchini Rounds With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese (from www.health.com)

Prep: 15 minutes

Makes 8 servings

2 zucchini

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil (about 24). --I saved the drained oil.

3 ounces goat cheese (I used a creamy log goat cheese so it would stay on top of my zucchini rounds.)

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives

2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1) Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. (You should have about 24 slices.) Lay out on a large platter; season with salt & pepper.

2) Place a sun-dried tomato on each zucchini slice, then top each tomato with a pinch of goat cheese. Sprinkle tops with chopped chives and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil; serve. (Serving size: 3 rounds)

NOTE: I added some extra-virgin olive oil to the oil I'd drained off and saved from the sun-dried tomatoes and then used that mixture to drizzle over my appetizers just before serving. These were very good!

This sounds wonderful! I've also seen cucumber-1/2 inch slices, and scooped out with

a melon baller... then filled with tasty things. Mmmmm.... egg salad comes to mind. Zucchini worked well, huh? Gotta try this one!

 
A catering client gave & asked me 2 make the recipe 4 her--'natch, I had to sample one B4 she picked

up, and I was surprised at how tasty they were. The combo of the sun-dried toms + goat cheese + chives was delicious and gave great taste while a nice crunch came from the zuke slices. Hope you enjoy them!

Your suggestion of thick cuke slices scooped out and then filled is a good one and something I'm sure I'll use for an appetizer buffet at some future time. Thanks for that idea!
