Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the courgettes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Add half of the butter to the pan and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom.
  4. Arrange the courgette slices in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and starting to soften.
  6. Flip the courgettes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Transfer the cooked courgettes to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and courgettes.
  8. Once all courgettes are cooked, sprinkle with fresh chopped tarragon and grated cheese of your choice.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and the cheese is still melting.
