Turkish Zucchini Slippers

2 zucchini
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup meat (Great with Italian sausage, but you can use left overs too.)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Bring water to a boil; cook whole zucchini for ten minutes just to soften. Remove them from the water. Cut off ends and slice lengthwise. Use a spoon to hallow out the seeds.

Mix together other ingredients and spoon mixture into zucchinis. Bake until set and then broil to brown.
