- When the courgettes are ready, add the eggs to the pan.
- Stir for the first minute or so and then wait for the eggs to start to set, shaking the pan from time to time to keep the frittata loose.
- When the eggs have set, turn the frittata with the aid of a plate, and return it to the pan.
- After another couple of minutes cooking, the frittata is ready
