Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, or start up your grill! You can oven-bake them or toss them on the grill [foil-pouch style, of course!] along with some burgers or brats. I had a small child wrapped around my ankle so I baked.
- Wash and slice you zucchini, skin on, into thin slices, but not all the way through
- Help guide the process by lining up a chopstick on either side of the squash and cutting until you hit the stick. Resist the urge to play the zucchini accordion-style when you're done. I, um... broke my first one in half. Oops
- Next grab your feta. You can leave it crumbled for texture or add it to a blender or food processor with a little bit of cream cheese or yogurt to make a creamy, cheesy spread. Both are delicious options; try one of each if you have extra squash handy.
- Mix together feta, chopped basil, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
- Set aside.
- Lay your zucchini on a large sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then smash as much of your feta mixture in between the zucchini rounds as you can.
- Add a little extra on top and close your foil pouch.
- Bake for 35 minutes for an al-dente zuke or 45-60 minutes for tender zucchini.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH LEMON-HERB FETA
This quick side gives zucchini the star treatment. It is an ideal recipe to make when you already have the grill fired up or for a speedy indoor option in your grill pan. Resist the urge to flip the zucchini more than once, otherwise you won't get those coveted grill marks that bring so much flavor and visual appeal to this dish. The fresh flavor of mint complements the tangy feta, but you can substitute any fresh herb you like or have on hand. You'll need half of a lemon to yield the amount of zest and juice needed for this recipe.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine feta, mint, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and scallions; set aside.
- Trim ends off zucchini and slice in half lengthwise; slice each half into 4 or 5 chunks. Place zucchini on a baking sheet (or other flat surface) in a single layer; coat both sides with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
- Off heat, coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over high heat. Cook zucchini, carefully flipping once, until grill marks are evident and zucchini is softened, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Arrange zucchini slices on a platter and serve with reserved feta topping.
- Serving size: about 5 pieces zucchini and 1 heaping Tbsp feta topping

BRAISED EGGS WITH ZUCCHINI, FETA AND LEMON
This dish is a celebration of zucchini, and it can be served any time of the day, really, either on its own or with some good bread to dip into the runny yolks. Although the zucchini blossoms make this look particularly bright and festive, the recipe would work just fine without them. If your zucchini blossoms come with stems or small zucchini attached, simply slice them up and slow-cook them with the rest of the sliced zucchini.

Steps:
- Take one lemon and use a vegetable peeler to remove 4 strips of zest. Squeeze the lemon to get 1 tablespoon juice, then set aside.
- Add the oil, garlic, chopped red chile pepper, lemon zest strips and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a large, preferably nonstick sauté pan (for which you have a lid) set over medium heat. Gently fry for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the oil begins to bubble. (Turn the heat down to medium-low if the oil bubbles too quickly.) Decrease the heat to low, add the zucchini slices (not the blossoms) and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the zucchini slices are very tender and beginning to brown. Stir in the chard and cook for another few minutes, until wilted.
- Drain the zucchini and chard over a saucepan to collect the oil, then return the vegetables to the sauté pan. Stir in the herbs, reserved lemon juice and feta. Create 6 hollows with the back of a spoon and carefully break an egg into each hollow (take care not to break the yolks). Lay the zucchini blossoms around the eggs and drizzle them with a teaspoon of the reserved frying oil. Cover the pan with the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat, until the whites are almost set and the yolks are still runny (the eggs will continue cooking once uncovered and taken off the heat).
- While the eggs cook, add the butter to the reserved oil and gently heat until beginning to brown and bubble, then drizzle over the eggs when they're done. Sprinkle with the Aleppo chile and a good pinch of salt and serve hot with juice from the remaining lemon squeezed on top.

Easy to make, savory and a nice presentation. You could use dill rather than basil in the stuffing if you prefer.

Steps:
- Remove the ends of 2 of the zucchini, cut in half lengthwise; use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4" thick shell; set the flesh aside.
- Place the shells in a steamer, cut sides up, and steam until just tender, 3-5 minutes; invert on paper towels and drain.
- Cut the remaining 2 squash into 1/4" slices; heat oil in a non-stick skillet; saute the onions over medium heat, until softened; add the reserved flesh, chopped,and the zucchini slices; continue to cook over medium-high heat, until golden.
- Process the cooked mixture and the feta in a food processor until the zucchini is roughly chopped; stuff the shells with this filling and place them in an oiled baking dish.
- Broil 4" from the heat source until filling is bubbly and deep golden in color, about 3 minutes.
