As a child I never liked courgette. I couldn't see the point of it, it didn't taste like anything. I loved aubergine though and still do. If it wasn't for the huge amount of oil it takes to fry an aubergine, I would have consumed it day and night. However my taste has changed dramatically especially since discovering joy of cooking which means I can cook things in different ways. So now I decided I like Courgette. Its versatile, doesn't eat up as much oil as aubergine so it is healthier.
I found this recipe on The Pioneer Woman whose blog I am a big fan of. The only change I made was to use Cheddar cheese. This is a easy thing to make and taste great and very light too. Enjoy:-)
