Baby marrow cake and cheat’s bearnaise

By TASTE

Easy
20 minutes
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 20 frozen ready-made pancakes
  • 300 g baby marrows
  • 550 g butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 300 g feta
  • 6 free-range egg yolks
  • 1 T white wine vinegar
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Defrost the pancakes.

Grate the baby marrow and place in a hot pan with 50 g butter and the garlic. Fry for 5 minutes, seasoning to taste.

Remove from the heat, crumble the feta into the mixture and stir through.

Place one pancake onto a large ovenproof platter and spread with a spoonful of the baby marrow and feta mixture. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling to create a “cake”.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Drizzle with the béarnaise sauce and serve.

To make the béarnaise, place the remaining butter in a glass bowl over a shallow saucepan of simmering water. Once the butter has melted, remove the glass bowl from the heat and place a clean bowl over the simmering water.

Whisk the egg yolks with the white wine vinegar in the bowl until light and fluffy.

Add the melted butter in a slow stream, whisking continuously. Once incorporated, remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning.
