Cheesy Zucchini Bites

Cheesy Zucchini Bites
These are so yummy.  They are Kimkins friendly (probably friendly with every diet).  But watchout....only eating a small amount is "ok".  My problem is I want the entire pan and they scream for you to just pop into your mouth...down your tummy...right to your hips.

Makes 35 appetizers

Ingredients
5 medium zucchini (about 6 inches long)
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
This healthy zucchini is topped with tomatoes and crumbled blue cheese then baked until melted.
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions
1. Cut zucchini into 3/4-inch slices. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the insides and discard, leaving the bottom intact. Place zucchini on an ungreased baking sheet; spoon 1/2teaspoon crumbled blue cheese into each.

2. Combine the Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper; sprinkle half over blue cheese. Top each with a tomato slice; sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan mixture. Bake at 400°F until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes. Serve warm.
