Courgette flan

This is a recipe given by my mother-in-law who always bakes very nice flan, soufflé.... I love it because it is really simple and time consuming, suitable for busy day! It is also comfort food of my husband :)

Courgettes are not cooked ahead version

Ingredients
1kg courgette, sliced without peeling off skin
2 shallot, chopped finely
3 cloves garlic, chopped finely
parsley

6 eggs
100g Parmesan cheese
100g Emmental cheese
salt & pepper

Instructions
1. Slice courgette, chop shallot & garlic finely

Preheat the oven at 160°c

2. Fry them with olive oil & parsley on a pan until the courgettes become soft, then use a fork to smash them
Set aside and let it cool down

Note: If you don't have time, you can even skip this step

3. In a large mixing bowl, mix eggs, cheese, salt & pepper until they blend well together
Add in courgette mixture, stir well

4. Pour the flan mixture into a mould about 1.5" high
