Stuffed Zucchini with Ham & Mushrooms

Hmmm I usually saute zucchini with prawns or stew it,  never try eating zucchini this way by stuffing it with other ingredients and bake it prior to serving :) It tasted refreshing and juicy with the cheesy savoury topping. This is not my kids kind of food so I polished down two whole stuffed zucchini as my lunch ^0^ The balanced can be warm up later in oven when I feel hungry again ;P

Method
