Yield: 4

Ingredients

2 zucchini
1/2 cup part skim shredded mozzarella cheese (or pepper jack)
8 thin slices 96% lean deli ham, chopped
Salt and pepper

Steps

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Scoop out the seeded flash of the zucchini and set aside. Place the zucchini face up on a small baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for ten minutes until they just start to soften.
Meanwhile in a small bowl mix together the ham and cheese. You can also chop up and add the zucchini flesh if you want. Season with any herbs or spices you choose.
Take the zucchini out of the oven and fill each zucchini with 1/4 of the ham and cheese mixture. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble and brown. Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite salsa.
