Baked Courgette Recipe

Baked Courgette Recipe

Every year I like finding new and yummy ways to use up the abundance of courgettes there always is.  I have made most cakes and soups you could think of, but for some reason I have never baked them (apart from a stuff marrow kind of thing).  But, this recipe is super easy and delicious so I am sharing it here.

Ingredients

• 4 medium courgettes
• 150-200g grated cheese (or your choice)
• 1 handful basil, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. dried dill
• 3 large eggs
• 4 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. ground garlic
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 180 °C or gas mark 4.

Heat 1/4 of the oil in a pan and slice courgette into disks or lengths and add to the pan when hot.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little garlic and cook on both sides until soft.  Repeat for all the courgettes, adding more oil as needed and set aside.

Whisk the eggs and add the cheese (save a little bit for the top of your bake), dill and basil to the eggs and mix.

Spread a small amount of oil in an oven proof dish and start to layer courgettes with egg/cheese mixture.

Add the last of the cheese to the top of the bake and then put it in the oven for 40/45mins.
