Eggs with courgettes

Here’s a tasty recipe for eggs with courgettes (zucchini):

Ingredients:

• 2 medium courgettes (zucchini), sliced or grated
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove fresh garlic (minced, optional)
• 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional, like feta or parmesan)
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the courgettes: If using whole courgettes, slice them into rounds or grate them.

2. Sauté the courgettes: In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the courgettes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly golden. If using garlic, add it in the last minute of cooking.

3. Season: Season the courgettes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

4. Add the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the sautéed courgettes in the skillet.

5. Cook the eggs: Stir gently to combine and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 3-5 minutes. If you like your eggs fluffy, you can remove them from the heat while they are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook from the residual heat.

6. Optional cheese: If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs in the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.

7. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

This dish is great for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner! Enjoy!
