Microwave: fast recipe

Tired of a hot kitchen on a warm day? 🔥 


Say hello to your new favorite 15-minute meal! These insanely creamy and delicious Zucchini Boats are made in the microwave, which means less time cooking and more time enjoying the sunshine. ☀️ It's the perfect light, quick, and satisfying dinner!

LIGHTNING-FAST MICROWAVE ZUCCHINI BOATS 🚤💨

What you'll need for 4 delicious boats:
🥒 2 medium zucchini
🧅 1 small onion
🍅 1 small, juicy tomato
🧀 125g / ~4.5 oz full-fat cream cheese
🥓 100g / ~3.5 oz cooked ham, diced
🧀 50g / ~½ cup grated cheese (like Emmental, Swiss, or Mozzarella)
🌿 1 tsp Italian seasoning
🧂 Salt & freshly ground pepper

Here's how to make the magic happen:
1️⃣ PREP THE BOATS: Wash the zucchini, slice them in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to scoop out the center, creating a boat shape. Season the inside with a little salt and pepper.
2️⃣ MIX THE FILLING: Finely dice the onion, tomato, and ham. In a bowl, combine them with the cream cheese, grated cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy. Give it a final taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
3️⃣ STUFF & COOK: Generously stuff the zucchini boats with your creamy filling. Place them in a flat, microwave-safe dish (porcelain or glass works great).
4️⃣ MICROWAVE: Cook on high for 9-11 minutes, uncovered, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

✨ Pro Tips for Extra Yum:

  • Serve with a side of crusty garlic bread to soak up all the deliciousness!

  • Go Veggie! 🌿 Easily make this vegetarian by swapping the ham for diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or corn.

It's seriously that easy! Save this post for your next dinner emergency & let me know if you try it in the comments! 👇
