Ham & Cheese Zucchini Boats

•

Last month I created Ham and Cheese Quiche Cups using a Maple Leaf Foods Country Kitchen Honey & Maple Flavour Smoked Ham. I had a huge ham to work with, so I created a second recipe that day, Ham & Cheese Zucchini Boats. All of the vegetables in these zucchini boats were grown in my garden, which makes it a little extra special to me.

These Zucchini boats are very filling on their own, but they are very nice with a salad or vegetable on the side as well. My kids haven’t realized how delicious zucchini is yet, so this was a meal just for my husband and I (they don’t know what they were missing). Thankfully, it’s a really fast meal to make, so I don’t mind making them just for the adults.

There you have it, dinner in fifteen minutes and it’s healthy food too! I did end up convincing my daughter to give it a try and she decided it was okay. I’ll take it! My husband and I both enjoyed it a lot and I plan to make it more often since I have a lot of zucchini growing out there!

    This looks delish! I wish I was able to find big zucchini like that. Stores here only carry small, green zucchini. I will be growing my own next year and hopefully they grow near that size.

    Dinner tonight is inspired by this post but filling a big green zucchini with egg, ham, cheese, green peppers and onions. It’s almost ready to come out of the oven now!

    My kids love ham but aren’t so crazy about zucchini. This may change their minds though!
