Sorry this should probably be in recipes but just a quick one - know a lot of you at this time of year have a glut of courgettes and at the weekend my pal made this delicious and dead easy side dish: She took enough courgettes for six of us, sliced them as normal and layered into a little baking dish. She then poured over 2 eggs beaten with a small pot of single cream with S&P and then topped with grated parmesan - baked for about 30 minutes. Really lovely and much easier/lighter than a white or cheese sauce. I would think you could add breadcrumbs to the parmesan to great effect also.

My courgettes have been rubbish this year. This does sound a nice recipe, bet mushrooms would be good like this

That sound really yummy RC and I like Tilly's idea of mushrooms too - and, possibly, the mushrooms added to the courgettes would make a good combination too. Anyone else agree?

Courgettes, mushrooms......and probably other vegetables baked this way - sounds delicious to me. Will have to give it a go.

Sounds divine, RC, I love courgettes. I get a weekly email from heidiswanson.com and she posted a lovely apple and courgette crostini with goat`s cheese earlier this week, which is the easiest and tastiest starter I`ve ever done.

I've added a courgette recipe like this to Your Recipes - really scrummy and I'm not normally a courgette fan!
