Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 480 g courgettes (zucchini) finely sliced
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche *recipe available below!
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 70 g gruyère split into 50g + 20g (if you can't find gruyère use freshed grated parmesan)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F (fan)
  2. In a large bowl mix together olive oil, salt and crushed garlic
  3. Finely slice your courgettes into rounds and place into the infused oil and massage it in with your hands to get all the rounds covered. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl mix together mustard, crème fraîche, thyme and 50g of grated gruyère cheese
  5. Pull your pull pastry out of the freezer and place it on a large baking sheet on top of a piece of parchment paper. Prick all over with a fork.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture all over the surface of the puff pastry as close to the edges as you can get. It is very thick but you can do it!
  7. Spread the courgettes on top, again as close to the edges as you can get and then sprinkle with the remaining 20g of cheese and a few turns of freshly ground pepper
  8. Cook for 20 minutes until nice and golden.
