Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the zucchini
Heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Wash the zucchini, slice lengthwise, and scoop out the centers with a spoon; finely chop the scooped zucchini flesh.
Sauté the vegetables
Warm the olive oil in a pan. Cook the onion for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and garlic, then sauté until the mushrooms release and evaporate their moisture.
Make the creamy filling
Lower the heat. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth. Beat the egg in a small bowl, then pour it in while stirring quickly so it blends in without scrambling. Mix in parmesan, parsley, and black pepper.
Fill the zucchini boats
Arrange the zucchini halves in a baking dish. Spoon the filling evenly into each one. If you like, sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top.
Bake and serve
Bake for about 40 minutes, until the zucchini is tender. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
