Goat Cheese Stuffed Courgettes – A Mediterranean-Inspired Vegetarian Delight

​Experience the rustic charm of southern French cuisine with these Goat Cheese Stuffed Courgettes. This vegetarian dish combines tender courgette halves filled with a savoury mixture of soft goat cheese, sweet cherry tomatoes, and aromatic herbs.

The filling is enhanced with finely sliced red onion, crushed garlic, fresh basil, and Herbes de Provence, all bound together with fine breadcrumbs for a satisfying texture.

Baked until golden and bubbling, these stuffed courgettes offer a harmonious blend of creamy, tangy, and herby flavours. Serve them hot, accompanied by a crisp green salad and crusty bread, for a wholesome meal that brings a taste of the Mediterranean to your table.
