    Fried eggs on courgette rösti

    Serves: 2 to 4

    Ingredients

    • 6 courgettes
    • 45 ml (3 Tbsp) almond flour
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh thyme
    • 45 ml (3 Tbsp) almond flour
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh thyme leaves
    • 2 extra-large eggs
    • Salt and pepper
    • Extra-virgin olive oil for frying, about 30 ml (2 Tbsp)
    • 4 extra-large eggs, or 8 small ones

    Instructions

    1

    Start with the courgette röstis. Grate the courgettes into a bowl, add the almond flour, fresh thyme and eggs, season generously and combine well with your hands.

    2

    Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into 8 small balls, then pop them into a frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil. Press down gently to form patties and fry for a few minutes on each side until brown and crispy.

    3

    Place onto kitchen towel to drain the excess oil while you fry the eggs.

    4

    Place the fried eggs on top of the röstis and serve.
