This is such a popular recipe amongst the students who attend my cookery school.
They find it a welcome alternative to the worn out potato bake which is so often served at a braai. The egg added to the bake thickens the sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 butternut, skinned and cut into small chunks
• 1 round of feta cheese
• 1 TBSP fresh thyme
• 3 TBSP fresh chives, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 cup cream
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper
• 1 TBSP butter

Method:

1. Boil the butternut until half cooked.
2. Drain and place in an ovenproof dish.
3. Crumble the feta cheese on top and sprinkle with thyme, chives and garlic.
4. Mix together the cream, egg, salt and pepper and pour over the butternut.
5. Dot with the butter.
   
   Baking Time:

• Place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes at 180°C.
