Ingredients

  • 3 medium courgettes, grated

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • sprig of thyme removed from the stalk

  • 4 rashers, chopped (optional)

  • 1 tbsp flour, sieved

  • 100g light cheddar cheese, grated

  • 30g Feta cheese, crumbled

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten

  • small handful of baby spinach, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C and lightly grease a cast-iron pan or oven-proof dish that will hold all of your ingredients.

  2. Toss the grated courgettes in some sea salt and place into a sieve over a large bowl. Set aside for five minutes — it will remove any excess water. Not all courgettes will contain a lot of water but some do, and this can make the final bake a bit mushy.

  3. Mix the rest of the ingredients and some ground black pepper. Then add in the courgettes.

  4. Scoop into your prepared dish and bake for about 45 minutes, until cooked through. Once cool, cut into slices.
