Courgette Lunch Cake

If you’re like me, you are long tired of the same old sandwiches people eat at lunch every day. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some good bread and I do realize that sandwiches are the easiest thing to make, especially when in rush but I think it’s time we all inject some creativity in our lunches! Yes, even if you’re a busy bee like me, with a little foresight and planning, you can have a delicious and exciting lunch without interrupting your schedule. Let’s start with the courgette cake! What’s great about it is that you can have it hot and cold, so can make it a day ahead and take it for lunch the next day! Boring lunches no more!!!

Ingredients

1 courgette, grated

160g spelt flour (or regular flour)

200g cream cheese

130g grated cheese

3 eggs

30ml olive oil

120ml warm milk

11g dry yeast

Pine nuts

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C. In a bowl, mix flour, eggs, olive oil and warm milk. Add yeast and mix again. Add courgette, grated cheese and pine nuts. Gently combine. Grease a squar/rectangular oven dish or line with parchment paper. Pour the mixture, put in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve it on its own or with a simple salad.
