Method
- Preheat the grill to medium and line a baking tray with foil. Lay the slices of courgettes on the baking tray in a single layer. Brush with half the oil and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Grill for 3-4 mins until starting to soften. Turn the courgettes, brush with the remaining oil, season and grill for a further 2 mins.
- While the courgettes are cooking, mix together the soft cheese, feta and oregano. Season with freshly ground pepper, feta is salty so there’s no need to add salt. Spoon the cheese mixture on top of the courgette slices and return to the grill for a further 3mins until golden. Drizzle over the chilli sauce, to serve.
Top Tip for making Grilled courgettes with feta
Instead of feta cheese mix grated mature Cheddar with the soft cheese or simply top the courgettes with thinly sliced goat’s cheese.
