100g mozzarella cheese, chopped into small cubes
80g cheddar cheese, finely grated
10 leaves of basil, finely chopped
I clove of garlic, crushed
a half teaspoon of dried chilli flakes
2 heaped teaspoons of Crème fraîche

Method
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.
- Cut the tops off of the courgettes and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the insides of the courgettes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven on a baking sheet for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, combine all of the other ingredients in a bowl.
- 30mins into the courgette’s cooking time, spoon the fondue mixture into the centre of the baking courgettes put them back in the oven for the remaining cooking time.
- When the courgettes are tender and the fondue is melting and unctuous remove them from the oven onto a serving plate. Replace the courgette tops and surround with fresh herby salad allow a generous amount of crusty bread per person for dipping and enjoy!
