* 1kg (2lb) firm Courgettes, skin on, washed and cut into thin rounds or Julienned.
* Fine Table salt and Freshly ground black pepper
* 4 tablespoons Olive oil
* 2 large Onions, peeled and chopped
* 4 Garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
* 3 Free range eggs plus 1 free-range Egg yolk
* 75g of your favourite hard Cheese
* 5 tablespoons cooked White rice, I prefer Basmati rice for this as it has a nice flavour
* 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped Parsley

===Method===
* Heat 1 tablespoon of Olive oil in a Wok or Frying pan
* Add a good grind of Black pepper and then sauté the onions for 5 minutes until softened, don't Brown them. Stir in the Crushed garlic of the last minute just to cook the roughness from it
* Reserve the Onions and Garlic to a large mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of Olive oil and when nice and hot, sauté the Courgettes until softened, about 12 minutes
* Add all of the Eggs to a the mixing bowl holding the Onions and Garlic and beat with a fork
* Mix in the cooked Rice into the Courgettes to absorb the Oil, and add to the Egg mixture together with 50 g of the Grated Cheese, Onions and Garlic
* If the courgettes are very hot, leave them for 15 minutes to cook or you might end up with un-pourable scrambled eggs when you mix them in.
* Season with a little Black pepper
* Pour the mixture into a shallow gratin dish and sprinkle with the remaining Grated Cheese and drizzle the last tablespoon of Olive oil over the top
* Bake in the middle of the Oven for 30 minutes
