Fresh oregano and chives brighten the creamy three-cheese filling for these stuffed zucchini slices.   Wonderful alongside grilled chicken or pan-seared tuna steaks, stuffed zucchini can also be served as an appetizer course.  The vibrant green of the zucchini next to the golden gleam of cheese and breadcrumbs makes these a beautiful opener for any dinner party.
