Baked Courgettes with Farmhouse Cheese

This is one of my favorite recipes in my Irish Food & Cooking cookbook. It's so easy to do, and so delicious! You can cut back on the butter...it really doesn't need it, but consider trying the real deal at least once to see what you think.

Baked Courgettes (zucchini) with Farmhouse Cheese
Ingredients:
4 courgettes (zucchini)
2 tbs grated hard farmhouse cheese, I used Irish cheddar
2 tbs butter
salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Butter a shallow baking dish and arrange the zucchini, cut side up, inside the dish.

2. Sprinkle the cheese over the zucchini, and sprinkle over a few knobs of butter.

3. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the zucchini are tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Serve immediately.
