How to make it

  1. Cut the courgettes into slices about 5 mm thick. Sprinkle with a little salt, leave them in a sieve for 15 minutes and pat them dry with a clean tea towel.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease a dish of about 20 × 30 cm with a little oil.
  3. Cook the courgettes in the rest of the oil in a wide frying pan, in two batches, for 3–4 minutes each. Arrange the courgettes in the dish, leaving behind any liquid in the pan.
  4. Beat the eggs with the sour cream, crushed garlic, pepper and half the grated cheese. Pour over the courgettes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the sauce has set and the top is golden. Leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Salting, draining and briefly cooking the courgettes reduces the liquid in the dish. Serve as a side dish or with a salad.
