Ingredients
3 medium courgettes (about 400g), grated and excess moisture squeezed out
250 g tub cottage cheese
4 eggs
2 spring onions, finely sliced
60g grated cheese (cheddar, parmesan, or a mix)
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp chopped dill (or other soft herbs)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp grated parmesan, for topping
Method
Preheat to 170°C fan bake (190°C). Lightly grease a 20cm×20cm baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the cottage cheese, grated courgette, spring onions, grated cheese, olive oil, parsley and dill. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, smooth the top and sprinkle over the parmesan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and set in the centre.
Serve warm with a crisp salad or roasted tomatoes, or enjoy chilled for an easy protein-packed lunch.
