I had some courgettes left over from Totie’s cake, and I used one of them for this. Delicious. I do love an omelet / omelette and courgettes do seem destined for eggs round at my place if they are not in a cake. Suzanne’s recipe is vague, but the results are good! I just scaled down the recipe and made a great big omelet for one.
I am a little perturbed that I can’t find the recipe book this is in — only a week or so after I made it. With the new Marie Kondo method, there is one place for all my film-star recipe books: the big shelf in the kitchen, double-stacked.
I shall return here and type up the recipe when I find it. From memory, it was simple. Courgettes chopped, fried in a little olive oil with some shallots. Then whisked up eggs added to the pan – I have a feeling an extra yolk was involved. Cooked until set on the bottom. Then popped under the grill.
It will be interesting to see what I’ve forgotten…
Aha! It is 2026 now, over ten years later, and I have just made another version of Suzette’s lovely frittata. Here’s the recipe, and here’s the new post!
