Creamy courgette souflé

Serves 2

olive oil
1 clove of garlic
2 small home-grown courgettes, grated.
25g butter
25g plain flour
126ml heated milk
2 large eggs
35g cheddar cheese
freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and gently fry the garlic and courgette, without browning for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

In another pan, melt the butter and add the flour; then cook for about a minute. Add the heated milk slowly, stirring continuously to avoid lumps to create your bechamel. Cook for 1 minute and remove from the heat.

Add the bechamel to the courgette mixture along with the cheese; then season with black pepper. Beat the mixture together.

Beat the egg white until stiff; then gently fold into the mixture before dividing between the ramekins.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they have risen and have a golden top.

Eat tout suite.
