CHEESY COURGETTE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6. Place a baking tray in the oven to preheat.
• Wash and dry the courgettes and tomato. Slice the courgette lengthwise. If the courgette is quite thick slice it in 3, otherwise just cut it in 2 halves. Slice the tomato.
• Remove the tray from the oven and brush with a little olive oil. Place the courgette slices in the tin. Top with the cheese (you can slice or grate it) and the sliced tomato. Add the mustard and the chopped herbs to the remaining olive oil and dot over the top.
• Place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes (depending on the oven) or until the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown. Serve warm or hot. Any leftovers can be stored in a cover dish in the fridge and added to an omelette later.
