Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease six ramekins.

Heat oil in a large saucepan and add the garlic and courgettes.

Sauté courgettes until soft and liquid evaporates, then mash into a pulp.

Melt butter in a small pan, stir in flour for 1 minute, and whisk in hot milk.

Simmer the béchamel for 1 minute before removing from heat.

Mix béchamel with courgette pulp, egg yolks, cheese, and pepper.

Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into the courgette mixture.

Distribute the mixture between the ramekins or a large dish.

Bake at 180°C for 12-15 minutes for ramekins or 35 minutes for a large dish.
