    No fresh basil? Simply stir a couple of teaspoons of pesto into the pan before adding the eggs.

    Make it for brunch

    All-in-one full English Counts as 2 of 5-a-day Fry 2 rashers back bacon in the oil until crisp, then replace the courgettes with a handful sliced mushrooms. Add the tomatoes (omit the garlic) and eggs, then finish off the recipe as before.

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then add the courgettes. Fry for 5 mins, stirring every so often until they start to soften, add the tomatoes and garlic, then cook for a few mins more. Stir in a little seasoning, then make two gaps in the mix and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid or a sheet of foil, then cook for 2-3 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter over a few basil leaves and serve with crusty bread.

Superb, A must do again.
I added a small red pepper and a red onion at the same time as the courgette to make it a more substantial evening meal, then served it with pork chops and home made crusty garlic bread. Delicious.

This is a nice easy and tasty dish - I like my eggs a little more set than probably most other people, so by the time they were done to my liking, the courgettes and tomatoes were a little over-cooked! But no less enjoyable for that. I'll just make sure I add the eggs a little earlier in the process next time.

I added some sausages to make it more meat-eater friendly, it tasted great and really easy, will be making this often!

Really tasty! Didn't have fresh tomatoes, so used a 400g can of diced tomatoes and did 4 eggs. Really easy and fast.
