Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then add the courgettes. Fry for 5 mins, stirring every so often until they start to soften, add the tomatoes and garlic, then cook for a few mins more. Stir in a little seasoning, then make two gaps in the mix and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid or a sheet of foil, then cook for 2-3 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter over a few basil leaves and serve with crusty bread.

RECIPE TIPS
TIP

No fresh basil? Simply stir a couple of teaspoons of pesto into the pan before adding the eggs.

Had for a brunch to use a courgette that was on the turn - so tasty, great way to use courgette. I cooked 2 eggs instead of bread. Used oregano with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper to season. (Forgot the basil), but was still delicious! And so easy.

I made this for myself at lunch time. As I was home alone for the day I got away with using a bit of garlic olive oil which really enhanced the flavour. I used 2 eggs instead of 1 because I wasn’t having the bread. I think the comment below about using it with steak at dinner time is a great idea…

Added a bit of red chilli, but otherwise followed the recipe. Was easy to make, satisfying and I guess seemed like a pretty healthy meal.

Yeah this is great, mix up the veg to what you like and it's all good. I throw a chilli in there as well when I'm making it on a hangover.

Just made this, really tastiey and versatile dish. Too many courgettes for my husbands taste so next time I will replace half with mushrooms and onion. He thought it would make a nice starter.
