Step 1
Start by positioning your oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheating it. Trim the ends off the zucchini, then slice each one in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and put them in a bowl. Add the chopped onion, olives, feta, garlic, pine nuts, half of the Asiago cheese, basil, and oregano to the bowl and give everything a good mix. Spoon this filling back into the hollowed zucchini halves, then sprinkle a little Asiago on top of each. Arrange the stuffed zucchini on a baking sheet and pop them under the broiler. Keep an eye on them and cook until the cheese turns golden and bubbly—this should take about 10 minutes.
