Cut chayotes lengthwise and smear hands with oil to prevent sap from sticking.

Boil chayote halves in salted water for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a steak knife.

Hollow out the cooked chayote halves, scooping out the insides without breaking the shell.

Mash the scooped chayote flesh in a bowl with a fork until smooth.

Add 100 grams of cheese, 60 grams of ham, 1 tablespoon of cream, salt, and pepper to the mashed chayote and mix well.

Scoop the mixture back into the hollowed chayote halves.

Place stuffed chayotes in the oven at 200°C until the cheese melts and the top is golden brown.
