Zucchinis stuffed with kopanisti cheese

Kopanisti is a cheese from Mykonos with the texture of ricotta, but the sharpness of blue cheese. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase it in Australia, so Maria has created her own version by combining blue-vein with ricotta. This dish is great on its own, but it also makes an excellent side dish.
