Question:

I found a recipe that is like an egg bake casserole with vegetables, bread, egg, and cheese in it. The directions say to slice the courgette and onion, then saute them until soft.  I am thinking that courette is some kind of vegetable, but I can't find it in any grocery store. Do you know what it is?

 

Answers:

Courgette is the French word for zucchini. This name is used throughout Europe.
