Instructions:

Stuffed Zucchini

12 small tender zucchini
1/4 pound Monterey jack cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons flour
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Parboil zucchini in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Cut zucchini in halves lengthwise. Scoop out centers; place strips of cheese in halves and fill with the zucchini pulp, then fasten the two halves together with wooden picks.

Beat egg whites very stiff; still beating, add yolks, slowly, one at a time, then salt, pepper and flour. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a pan. Dip zucchini in egg batter, and fry until well-browned on both sides.
