Healthy Brown Rice Stuffed 8 Ball Squash




Healthy Brown Rice Stuffed 8 Ball Squash
yield: 1 serving

(2) 8 Ball Squashes, hollowed
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 tomato, diced (I used a nice big heirloom)
1/2 cup 8 ball squash filling, finely diced
1 t salt
1 t red pepper flakes
1 t fresh ground black pepper
1 slice Swiss cheese

preheat oven to 375 degrees

1. Cut off tops off 8 ball squashes. Save if you want to eat the flesh like I do. You can remove filling with a spoon, it is soft. Reserve filling and finely dice.
2. Combine all ingredients except cheese, and spoon into the squash. Bake for 15 minutes. Bake the top of the squash as well (on the side).
3. Cut the slice of Swiss into quarters, place 2 quarters on top of one squash and 2 on the other. Turn the broiler on and broil until cheese is nice and bubbly. Enjoy!
