Old courgette & feta scrambled eggs

Waste not, want not - let’s combat food waste together with recipe ideas that salvage ingredients otherwise destined for the bin. This courgette (zucchini) is on its last legs, but still firm enough to cook. A more fresh courgette I wouldn’t bother peeling, but this one really needed it. This particular preparation makes a great breakfast, or even brunch, and can be adapted with fresh herbs and chilli flakes. Make it dairy free by leaving out the cream, and substitute feta with goat’s cheese - or no cheese. 

Ingredients

• Courgette

• Eggs 

• Feta cheese

• Cream (optional)

• Onion

• Salt & pepper

Tips: Courgettes have a very high water content, so don’t skip the ‘squeeze’ part or it will make the eggs too watery.
