Whether you call this Courgette and Feta Bake a crustless quiche or a frittata, it's a delicious mid-week meal that can be made in under 45 minutes.
How do you like your eggs?
Fried, scrambled, poached or coddled. There are lots of different ways to enjoy the humble hens egg. For vegetarians they are a fantastic source of protein and they make for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner depending on how you choose to prepare them.
Crust-less quiche, frittata or bake?
Egg based dishes, such as this Courgette and Feta Bake go by lots of different names. Perhaps the best way of describing it is a baked omelette. Vegetables and cheese are suspended in a light and fluffy batter made from eggs and milk. They are whisked together and seasoned well before pouring over the courgette and feta.
By cooking it in the oven you use less fat and it puffs up slightly as it cooks making. This makes it incredibly light and fluffy!
Whatever you choose to call this dish, it's a fantastic mid week meal. It involves minimal prep time and just 35-40 minutes in a pre-heated oven! Enjoy straight out of the oven with a side salad or fries.
Make it vegan
Believe it or not, you can actually make it vegan! Yes, I've tried.
Simply swap each egg for 50ml of Crakd (the no-egg egg now available in Supermarkets like M&S), use your favourite plant based milk (I used Oatly Barista) and a feta cheese substitute like Cauldron's Greek Style Cubes.

Courgette and feta is a fantastic combination. But there is so much more that you can do with courgettes. These recipes are fantastic if you love the vegetable as much as I do. They are also especially handy if you grow you own courgettes. Every year we manage to get a glut!
