Gluten-Free Zucchini Pancakes with Bacon and Eggs

Equally satisfying as a filling breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, this is a universally delicious meal for any time of the day! Gluten-free zucchini pancakes (or call them courgette fritters if you like) are served with fried eggs and some crispy American-style streaky bacon! Make sure you leave the egg yolk soft, it will act as a sauce for the pancakes!

Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

For Courgette Pancakes:

  • 1 green zucchini (courgette) coarsely grated
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon polenta or cornmeal
  • 25 g parmesan finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli powder

Toppings:

  • 4 streaky bacon rashers
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix grated zucchini, parmesan, cornmeal, garlic, cumin, chilli powder and eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan (or two) with a drizzle of odourless oil. Once hot, add spoonfuls of zucchini mixture leaving space in between for the pancakes to spread. Do not try and move the pancakes for the first couple of minutes. Fry for approx 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Heat the grill to a high setting. Line a baking tray with foil (it avoids the mess and reflects the heat making the bacon cook quicker). Add the bacon and grill for 2-4 mins on each side.
  • In a separate pan fry the eggs, keeping the yolks soft - they will act as a sauce.
  • Serve the zucchini pancakes topped with a fried egg and a couple of rashers of crispy bacon!
