6 tablespoons breadcrumbs, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1 cup provolone cheese

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wash zucchini skins and cut off stem end. Make a lengthwise slit and scrape out zucchini pulp and set aside.
Place zucchini shells in water to boil and season with salt (to taste). Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and put aside.
Chop ham, onion, tomatoes, garlic and mix together with the zucchini pulp in a frying pan. Drizzle oil and some of the bread crumbs in the mixture. Lightly brown. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer zucchini shells to a baking dish and fill with mixture. Top with shredded cheese and remaining bread crumbs. Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve while hot.
• Pre-chop the ham, onion, tomatoes, and garlic to save on prep time.
