- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Grease a 23cm square baking dish with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
- Slice the courgettes very thinly lengthways, using a knife or mandoline. Divide in 3 equal bunches.
- Lay the bottom of the dish with the first bunch of courgette slices, side by side. Season with salt. Cover with 1/3 of the mozzarella, 2 slices of ham and 1/2 of the feta. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese.
- Cover with a second layer of courgette slices and proceed as for the first layer. Finish with a third layer of courgettes, season with salt, add the remaining 1/3 of mozzarella and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 of grated Parmesan cheese.
- In a bowl whisk together the egg, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour over the lasagne, covering top and sides.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. During baking, the courgette will release water; if you notice this, remove from oven and carefully drain, then return to oven to continue baking.
- Remove lasagne from the oven, let stand for a few minutes before slicing, then serve.
