Cyprus Starter – Courgette and Egg

In June 2020, we were supposed to be on a flight to Paphos in Cyprus, however it was not meant to be. It just made choosing our next country for this project a lot easier!

For the starter, we decided to go with a firm favourite from the Latchi beach bar — courgette and eggs! This very simple dish was ready in no time and was super tasty too.

The recipe couldn’t be simpler:

Chop up all the courgettes into small pieces and fry in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil until soft. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat lightly with a whisk or fork. Pour the eggs into the pan, stir lightly and season to taste. We just used salt for authenticity but feel free to experiment with other seasonings!

Once the egg starts to cook through and go white, remove from the heat and enjoy.

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best, and this really is a case of letting the quality of the ingredients shine. If you can get hold of fresh, seasonal courgettes this is an absolute winner.
