Courgette, Feta & Mint Loaf

My favourite time of the month?  Receiving my monthly issue of The Simple Things - a new magazine which is full to the brim with everything you have ever wanted to read, cook, want, create and love.

This month's issue has super impressed me - I found myself disappointed that I had reached the back cover!   Included in this issue is a fantastic recipe for a savoury loaf.  I gave it a try and boy am I glad I did - it is delicious.  Perfect for your lunchbox or have it with a dollop of butter and a cup of tea. 

Ingredients - makes 1 loaf

3 eggs
110g grated cheddar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
5 tbpsn olive oil
180g flour
9g baking powder
75ml milk
1 small courgette, grated
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 sping onions
1/2 block feta (100g)
