Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Prepare 2 courgettes, choose small, firm zucchinis if possible.
Stage 2 - 8 min.
Trim the tail, cut them lengthwise into 2 pieces, then hollow out the inside with a Parisian apple corer, ideally, or failing that, a small spoon.
Stage 3 - 2 min.
Place the hollowed-out zucchini halves on a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with fine salt.
Stage 4
Tip: To keep the zucchini firmly in place on the baking sheet, remove a slice from the bottom with a vegetable peeler or knife, to make a flat base.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Cut 1 slice bread into small, long pieces, the size to fit into the zucchini hollows.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
Back to the zucchinis: Place a thin layer of Mornay sauce on the bottom of each zucchini (a piping bag is ideal).
Stage 8 - 3 min.
Place a piece of toast on top and press down a little.
Stage 9 - 3 min.
Top with another generous layer of Mornay sauce.
Stage 10 - 3 min.
Sprinkle a layer of breadcrumbs on top, followed by a layer of grated cheese.
Stage 11 - 20 min.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, watching for browning.
Stage 12
Enjoy warm or hot.
Remarks
If you don't have Mornay sauce, a béchamel sauce will do the trick.
At the end of cooking, if the zucchinis are tender but the top is not sufficiently gratinated, don't hesitate to give the oven a little broil.
