Stuffed Cornish Game Hens

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 2 medium zucchini, shredded
• 3 slices bread, cubed
• 1 egg
• ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 2 Cornish game hens, thawed
• Salt and pepper to taste

1.       To prepare stuffing; melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add zucchini and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add bread, egg, cheese and seasonings. Blend completely.

2.       Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the game hens. Stuff the cavities of the hens. Place in 9x13 CorningWare baking dish and bake for 45 minutes until fork tender.

This is a very tasty dish and only needs a crusty French bread and a salad to complete the meal.

Slice the French bread, wrap it in foil and put it in the oven for the last 5 or 10 minutes of the baking time for the hens.

A complimentary green salad might be baby greens and spinach tossed with some roasted pecans and dried cranberries. Toss with your favorite dressing.
