Courgette and parmesan bake
added by Hellybrief

Great to serve with dishes like chops or lamb - I made it this year using a mix of round yellow courgettes and large green ones (that had nearly become small marrows through oversight!)

It was very dry, maybe I used too much bread. The courgette was well cooked way before the onion, so the onion wasn't fully cooked. We were disappointed :(
