I went to a bring and share picnic / party over the weekend and the person who made the very tasty courgette mini flans shared her recipe with me...so here it is.
650g diced courgette and tomato
20 cl crème fraiche
35g cornflour
4 eggs
1 chopped onion
1 bouquet of parsley chopped
70g gruyère grated
S and P to taste
Mix all together
Spoon into bun / muffin tin
Cook for 40 mins at 180 C
They're small, cute, tasty and can be frozen - perfect!
As I'd used all my courgettes to make a chocolate courgette cake to take I've not had chance to try it out yet but it's my next courgette/ cooking priority. And obviously the veg can be changed according to the garden glut.

thanks ksia - it's always good to have another tried and tested courgette recipe. Your cake sounds good could you post that too?
Many thanks

for a choccy courgette cake Flossie & BL, still haven't managed to try it, but actually bought the choccy this week to give it a go, just too hot to have the oven on at the mo! ;D
Mini flans cooking in the oven as I type! ;D Them and salad for lunch!
I also made mini courgette flans at the weekend for a party, more or less the same recipe! (Wasn't me was it?!?!? ??? ;D) My friends loved them too, so know what I can do with the next load of 'gettes I get!
PS Did they go into pastry cases or straight into the muffin tin?
They went straight into the tins and were delish!!!
I didn't have any parsley so used some fresh tyme instead, and watch out they are VERY moreish! ;D
Thanks for posting it ksia ;D
;D
Yup, straight into tins here too...absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for another idea on the courgette front!
;)
Glad you like them. I'm going to make some tomorrow.
Here's the link to the courgette chocolate cake recipe I use...

I like getting people to eat it and then telling them afterwards it's got courgettes in it - they're always surprised. It's very tasty and moist and doesn't seem too 'healthly'!
Sally unless you're in France I guess we where at different parties..!
Yes it's a french recipe, hence when I translated it I knew a 'bouquet of parsley' just wasn't right but couldn't remember the word 'bunch'!
And yes straight into the tins.
Thanks DorisP and Karen. Another glut so must do something differently with them this time, - so these ideas much appreciated! :D busy_lizzie
I love the sound of that recipe and can't wait for my glut to begin to try it, so very many thanks for it. Great to hear they can be frozen too 8)
Feel awful for asking this as it is probably very obvious but what are Cl's in the creme fraiche weight measurement for the mini flans? I am all ready to go, but that little teaser has me stumped! :-[ ??? busy_lizzie
;D
Centiltres! A small tub of creme fraiche usually equals approx 20cl...
Ah!! Thanks Katy! :) busy_lizzie
