Instructions

Fry the courgette and chilli gently in frylight on a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly
Use a blender (hand blender fine) to mix together the cottage cheese, egg, and cheddar. Season well.
Spray a 12 hole bun tray with low calorie cooking spray, and line each bun hole with a slice of ham, pushing gently to the bottom to make a little cup
Split the courgette mixture between the 12, placing at the bottom of each hole, in the ham.
Carefully spoon in the egg and cheese mixture splitting between each one. Do not overfill- try to prevent it spilling over the edge of the ham.
Bake at 180c for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

I used the Asda wafer thin ham for this batch, and it came in a circle shape which was perfect for making these!
