Courgette gratin is a light yet filling side dish or vegetarian main from the summer French kitchen. Frying and draining the courgettes keeps the gratin from being watery. Nutmeg, Gruyère and cream: simple and tasty.
Slice the courgettes, salt them, drain in a colander for 15 minutes, then squeeze dry with paper towels.
Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil for 3 minutes, add the courgettes, and fry over high heat for 8-10 minutes until golden and their liquid has evaporated.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (165 °C fan). Butter a gratin dish.
Whisk the eggs with the cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and stir in half the cheese.
Put the courgettes in the dish, pour the egg mixture over, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden. Rest 5 minutes, then serve.
