Got this one from the same mag as the Lamb Rissoles, we had it this evening YUMMY

60ml Olive Oil
2, cloves garlic, peeled
1 onion, finely diced
4 courgettes (or 2 large ones)
6 eggs (SUMMAYAH!!!)
1 bunch of parsley, chopped
2 dessertspoons of pane grattugiato (breadcrumbs!!)
2 " ditto " grated Parmesan
Salt and Pepper

Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan. Add the garlic and fry until golden brown, remove and discard. Add the onion and fry gently until soft and translucent. Add the courgettes, fry rapidly until just brown. (This is where I wished I had a bigger pan to cook evenly).
Beat the eggs in a bowl, add parsley, breadcrumbs and cheese. Mix well and then pour over the courgettes in the pan, turn down the heat.
When the Frittata is pretty much set, slide it out onto a plate and, in a daring move, plonk it back in, uncooked side down and fry for a few more minutes. For those of a more delicate nerve and wrist, pop it under the grill to brown.

Bon Appetit!! Very Happy

SShh, it's meant to serve 4 Embarassed

My excuse is, I have 3 broodies off lay, so most of the 6 eggs were small, on one Wellie egg Wink

sounds delicious ~ not sure about turning it though, maybe an under the grill job.
