A couple of courgettes, a grater, and you're well on the way to creating a moreish veggie main or brunch
Ingredients

- 50g strong cheddar, crumbled
- small bunch chives, sniped
- 2 courgettes, grated

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the flour into a bowl, season, then gradually stir in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the cheese and half the chives.

In a dry non-stick frying pan, cook courgette over a high heat, stirring for 3-4 mins until just soft. Tip onto kitchen paper and squeeze dry, then stir into the batter.
