Ingredients
- Small bunch fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and trimmed
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 teaspoons skimmed milk
- Spray oil
- 1 courgette, sliced
- 1 tablespoon zaatar
- 4 slices sourdough bread (40g per slice)
Method
- To make the green sauce, whizz together the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and juice with the oil in a food processor until smooth.
- Break the eggs into a cold saucepan, add the milk and place the pan on a low heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scramble the eggs until they come together like loose porridge (you do not want them rubbery and hard).
- Meanwhile, coat a frying pan with spray oil and warm over a medium heat. Fry the courgette until golden. Sprinkle over half of the zaatar and set aside.
- Toast the sourdough. Sprinkle the remaining zaatar over the toast, spoon the eggs over the top and add the courgette. Finish with a generous drizzle of the green sauce.
Serving suggestion: Using wholemeal bread instead of sourdough bread will increase the fibre content which is good for bowel health and can help keep you feeling fuller for longer.
