Clafoutis aux Courgettes (Zucchini Casserole)
This easy casserole serves two hungry people and I recommend partnering it with a fresh, tomato salad. You will need a 20cm frying pan.

Cuisine French, Provencal
- 4 medium zucchinis (courgettes) sliced into rounds
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tbsp rosemary chopped
- 6 eggs beaten
- 50 ml milk
- 75 g brown rice flour or other gluten-free flour
- 150 g Goat's cheese 1/2 of log sliced into rounds
- 50 g Emmental cheese grated
- olive oil for frying
Fry the courgette slices in some olive oil until they are lightly browned and softened, adding the garlic as the courgettes begin to soften.
While the courgettes are cooking, mix the flour, rosemary and ¾ of the Emmental together in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a couple of turns of the black pepper grinder.
Make a well in the middle of the bowl and gradually add the beaten egg, whisking until the mixture becomes a smooth batter.
Add the batter to the courgettes in the frying pan and place the sliced goat’s cheese on the top.
Sprinkle with the remaining Emmental.
Cook the clafoutis on the stove-top on a medium heat for five minutes or until the mixture starts to brown around the edges.
Finish off under a medium-to-high grill until the top is golden brown.
