  • 3 spoons fresh dill
  • 1 package (200g) feta cheese
  • 1 package (200g) cream cheese
  • ½ cup (75g) self-raising flour

For the Topping

  • 3 spoons (45g) breadcrumbs (from stale bread or rusks)

METHOD

  1. Rinse the courgettes and drain them well. Grate them using the coarse side of the grater and place them in a sieve. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain the courgettes thoroughly, squeezing out the liquid with your palms, and place them in a bowl. Add the spring onions, parsley, mint, dill, the crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
  2. Grease the base of a 22x32cm baking pan with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with the 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Pour in the courgette mixture and spread it evenly in the pan.
  3. Mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan/convection) for 50 minutes.
