Courgette Stuffed with Cheese and Ham

In a bid to eat a good proportion of my courgettes, I thought I'd try a stuffed courgette recipe. I don't like mince, which poses a bit of a problem trying to find stuffed courgette recipes, after much searching I did find some cheese and ham recipes that used eggs, but I didn't have any, so I kind of made it up as I went along. I would recommend putting the top back on before putting it in the oven. I didn't and mine got a bit burnt on top and putting the top back on would solve this.



It was delicious. The courgette that I left round the sides had gone lovely and soft and the cheese had melted in the middle. Fantastic. I served it with a green side salad.

Put the cheese, ham and courgette mixture back into the middle of the courgette. and put the top back on.
