This super-simple supper is a delicious take on soufflé. It can be made without the bacon for a tasty vegetarian tea.

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil: dash vegetable oil, for greasing
  • courgette: 1 medium courgette, trimmed, grated
  • bacon: 1 rasher cooked bacon, chopped
  • yoghurt: 1 heaped tbsp plain yoghurt
  • feta: 25g/1oz feta
  • parmesan: 1 heaped tbsp grated parmesan
  • black pepper: pinch ground black pepper
  • egg: 1 free-range egg, beaten
  • tomatoes: 2 tomatoes, sliced, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

  2. Grease an ovenproof dish with a little oil using a pastry brush. Add the grated courgette, then scatter over the chopped bacon.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the plain yoghurt, feta, parmesan and ground black pepper until well combined. Stir in the beaten egg until well combined.

  4. Pour the egg-and-yoghurt mixture on top of the courgette and bacon mixture. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the egg-and-yoghurt mixture has set and is golden-brown on top.

  5. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Serve with the sliced tomatoes, if desired.
