Wrap zucchini in a clean, thin, woven kitchen cloth or muslin. Squeeze to remove excess liquid. Put zucchini
in a large bowl and set aside. -
Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, then transfer to bowl with zucchini. Add cheese, flour, parsley and egg and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Evenly divide 1⁄2 the zucchini mixture between prepared holes, then top with ham and remaining zucchini mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve.
