Courgette Bake

A little too brown on top???

This wasn't a successful as I thought it was going to be. My dish was too big, my oven too high and I baked it for too long. If there's nothing else I've learnt in cooking Bee's recipes, its that my oven is hotter than hers. I know that! You probably know that! but still I forget to adjust my cooking times!!! I have a fan oven, I should turn it down 10 degrees or reduce my cooking time by 10 minutes, that's what I usually do with other recipes, but somehow, with Bee's I always forget and end up having to adjust it the next time I make it. Oh well, it was still nice if a little lacking in depth and moisture.

Served with bacon and the re-heated fennel bake from the day before!

I served the leftovers cold in a lunch box with some coronation chicken and chopped tomatoes...it was a lot like a quiche.

Bee, true to form caters for all tastes, this was a very plain and uncomplicated dish. The last piece was served with a dollop of Bubby's salsa on top of a salad, just to give it that WOW factor!

So note to self: Next time....

• Smaller, deeper dish


• 10 degrees cooler oven or


• 10 minutes less in the oven

Remember these are just my adjustments, you and your oven may be different!
