Another recipe inspired by Stefan Gates' The Extraordinary Cookbook. Stefan used hooligan squashes but I've used patti pan squashes because that's what's ready in the garden at the moment. Any small squashes would do.

2 Cloves of garlic, skin on, smashed under the flat of a knife
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

the filling

100g Feta cheese
200g Crème fraiche
100g cooked ham - chopped finely
The juice and zest from half a lemon

Mise en place

Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - gas 6), [fan oven 180° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]

Fresh out of the oven
Cheese and ham squash bombs, the ingredients
If they are an odd shape, roast them upside-down. Slice off the base instead of the top

Method

Wash the squashes, slice off the tops and reserve then scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard them.
Season the insides with salt and pepper, add a smashed clove of garlic, a sprig of thyme and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to each squash.
Replace the lid and shake well.
Roast for 1 hour
Meanwhile crush the cheese and mix all of the filling ingredients together and season to taste.
After 1 hour, remove the squashes from the oven and discard the garlic and thyme leaves & drain any excess liquid.
Add the filling, replace the tops and roast for a further 30 minutes
