Steps
Steps
- 1Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a 26 cm ovenproof non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the courgettes for 6 minutes, until golden and any liquid has evaporated. Add the spring onions for 1 minute and season with salt.
- 2Beat the eggs in a bowl with the cheese, mint, a pinch of salt and pepper — just until mixed, not frothy.
- 3Tip the courgettes into the eggs and stir, then heat the remaining oil in the same pan over medium-low heat.
- 4Pour in the mixture, spread the vegetables evenly and cook gently for 8 minutes without stirring, until the edges are set and the centre is still wobbly.
- 5Meanwhile heat the grill to high.
- 6Slide the pan under the grill for 2–3 minutes, until the top has set and is lightly golden.
- 7Rest for 5 minutes, loosen the edges and slide onto a board. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
