Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°.
Toast bread cubes on baking sheet for approximately 30 minutes.
Halve zucchini lengthwise and scoop out seeds and pulp, leaving a ½-inch shell.
In a large skillet sauté bacon until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels. Pour off fat. Add onion to pan and cook until softened. Stir in tomato and honey. Cook an additional 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and toss with bread cubes, bacon, parsley and thyme.
Add beaten egg. Firmly pack each zucchini half with stuffing. Dot with butter.
Increase oven temperature to 375°. Bake for 30 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
Serves: 4-6
