Baked Zucchini With Cheese

This recipe is simple, and savory. It can be made for a snack, a side dish or even a meal. It is a good way to introduce kids to zucchini because they will love the creaminess of the melted cheese. This dish is also from my Irish cookbook, which I love because they tell you what the Irish terminology is for food, like "courgettes"-- aka zucchini.
