Zucchini and Cheese Bites

I have to say I'm one of those people that don't eat enough of zucchini .  The funny thing is I actually love zucchini but some how I only eat them when someone else had cooked them; which is not frequent.

With this recipe I'll be buying and cooking them in my kitchen this summer and the coming ones. They are great for meatless days!
