Courgette Bake
Ingredients
500 grams courgettes (about 3 medium-sized)
1 large onion (approximately 150 grams)
2 cloves garlic
200 grams cherry tomatoes
100 grams grated cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
50 grams breadcrumbs, the finely milled ones.
3 large eggs
100 milliliters milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh herbs (optional, e.g., basil or parsley and Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (170C for fan oven).
2
Wash and thinly slice the courgettes.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the sliced courgettes and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a lightly greased baking dish.
5
In a bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk.
- Pour this mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish.
6
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top.
Follow with an even layer of breadcrumbs (optional but I recommend)
7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the bake is set.
8
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. I love chopped parsley.
- Serve warm, but I like it just as much cold.

Enjoy your courgette bake!
