Courgette Frittata (Recipe)

Ingredients

680g (1 lb 8 oz) small courgettes

10 eggs

30g (1 oz) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tbsp olive oil

Steps

1.  Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4.

2.  Trim the courgette and cut them crossways into very thin slices.   In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy.  Add the courgettes,  half the cheese and the salt and pepper.

3.  Melt the butter and add the oil to a medium-size non stick ovenproof saute pan over medium heat.  Add the egg mixture.  Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Place it in the oven and bake until set but still slightly moist, about 20 minutes.

4.  Serve the frittata directly from the pan or slide it into a plate.  Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
