    really nice - use a small frying pan to get a thicker result. And don't leave too long or you might break it when you get it out of the pan.

    the courgette frittata recipe I have also enjoyed uses lots of fresh mint and feta cheese for a slightly alternative but very fresh taste.

    I made this as a mid week meal to use up some courgettes that were given to me by my neighbour and it was lovely, I would reccommend this to anyone.

    Quick and dead easy. I agree that the small deep pan is essential - you think its not going to fit, but it does!

    I used blue cheese instead of cheddar and finished off in the oven for 10 mins as I wasn't sure it was set all the way through. Needs a good seasoning in my opinion which I did and was yummy

    instead of stirring on stove I cooked in oven for 10 minutes then grilled. I used non stick paper on bottom of dish.

    Took advice from some of you and used a small frying pan, and seasoned the mixture well. Very tasty

    On finding ourselves with a glut of courgettes from the allotment and not knowing what to do with them, this recipe seemed worth a try. After following the instructions the first time (which was delicious) it has become a firm favourite and has become known as 'allotment frittata' as it lends itself to so many fresh vegetables.
