Last updated on February 9th, 2024 at 03:56 pm

It’s finally here, my delicious Parmesan Stuffed Courgettes (zucchini for my American peeps). The one I have been teasing you on social media with for the past two weeks. Apologies for the late posting of this delicious recipe we have been battling the bugs in this house. But it’s here now and oh it was worth waiting for I promise. It’s quick. It’s easy. The whole family will love it too. 

I am constantly baking courgettes with random stuffing. I have been know to fill it with left over chilli to left over tuna. There isn’t anything I won’t fill my courgettes with and bake. It’s such an easy side dish or even a main meal depending on what you are putting in it. I love the various things you can do with courgettes and feel healthy making them for the family too.  This recipe is just one of my favorites that I like to do with courgettes for the kids. It has a crunch to it and that melted parmesan makes it mouth watering too. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Recipe Notes

Serve with creme fraiche on top!

I love baking with fresh herbs. This you could use any combination you like but I liked to use basil and chives together. I have been trying to grow my own herbs in the kitchen lately and what a difference it makes to your food. I never realized. Fresh really is best! Do you grow your own herbs? Any great tips for keeping them alive I tend to have to keep getting new plants hahaha No green thumb here.

Don’t have time to try my recipe now, why not pin this recipe for later? I would love know what you think of my creation here, come say hello on social media and share your creations too! Do you  have an alternative to my parmesan stuffing for your courgettes? I would love to hear them. I love trying new recipes.
