Halve the zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, leaving 1 cm walls. Chop the scooped flesh, the onion and the garlic.
Heat half of the olive oil in a wide pan with a lid, fry the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, add the chopped zucchini flesh and cook 5 minutes until soft. Move to a bowl.
Let the filling cool for 2 minutes, then mix in the eggs, the diced mozzarella, the breadcrumbs, the oregano, salt and pepper. Fill the zucchini shells with it.
In the same pan heat the rest of the oil, add the diced tomato with 100 ml of water and a pinch of salt, and place the filled zucchini on top.
Cover and cook over low heat for 18 minutes until the zucchini are tender and the filling is set. Sprinkle with parmesan if you like and serve with the tomato sauce.
