Cheese Lovers: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella cheese during the last minute of cooking for a cheesy twist.
Vegetarian Option: Skip the ham and add a mix of other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a meat-free version.
Spicy Kick: For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce while cooking.
FAQ:
Can I use frozen zucchini?
Fresh zucchini is best for this recipe, but if using frozen zucchini, make sure to thaw and drain it well before cooking to prevent excess moisture.
What other types of meat can I use instead of ham?
You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon, turkey breast, or sausage. Chicken would also work well in this dish.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Then, when ready to cook, just follow the directions for a quick and easy meal.
How do I prevent the zucchini from becoming too watery?
Make sure to cook the zucchini over medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan. This allows the moisture to evaporate and the zucchini to brown nicely.
