1 To make the chargrille­d corn salsa, preheat a chargrill pan over high heat. Add the corn and cook, turning occasional­ly, for 6-8 minutes or until just cooked and golden. Transfer to a board, then carefully slice off the kernels. Transfer the kernels to a bowl and add all the remaining ingredient­s. Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir to combine, then set aside until ready to serve.

2 Reheat the chargrill pan over high heat. Add the zucchini and cook, turning occasional­ly, for 8-10 minutes or until cooked and deep golden. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, feta and Mexican seasoning in a bowl.

3 Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently occasional­ly, for 1-2 minutes or until softly set. Spoon the scramble onto plates and arrange the zucchini alongside. Add the corn salsa and serve with the lime wedges.
