Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs: The base of your omelet, providing proteins and a soft, creamy touch.
- 1/2 medium zucchini, diced: The star of the show! Rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, zucchini adds flavor, texture and a nutritional boost to your recipe.
- 1/4 chopped onion: For a touch of sweetness and an irresistible aroma, lightly caramelizing onions in the pan elevates the flavor of your omelet.
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil: A healthy fat that aids in cooking and adds flavor to your omelet.
- Salt and black pepper to taste: To season your omelet with your special touch, adjusting the flavor to your palate.
- Grated mozzarella cheese to taste (optional): A creamy and tasty touch that melts over the hot omelet, perfect for those who love cheese!
- Chopped fresh herbs to taste (optional): A final touch of freshness and flavor, herbs such as oregano, basil or chives are perfect for enhancing the flavor of your omelet.
Preparation method:
- Prepare the ingredients: Wash the zucchini well and chop it into small cubes. Chop the onion into fine pieces. Set aside the ingredients you will use, such as grated cheese and fresh herbs.
- Beat the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs vigorously with a fork or whisk until they are smooth and foamy. This will make your omelet fluffier and lighter.
- Sauté the onion: Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, giving off a delicious aroma.
- Add the zucchini: Add the chopped zucchini to the pan along with the sautéed onion. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix well. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is soft but still crispy.
- Pour in the egg mixture: When the zucchini is cooked to your liking, pour the beaten egg mixture over it in the pan. Distribute the eggs evenly across the surface.
- Cook the omelet: Cook the omelet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and starting to brown.
- Add cheese and herbs (optional): If desired, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh herbs over the omelet while it is still cooking.
- Fold and finish: Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula. Cook for 1 more minute to firm up the cheese and integrate the flavors.
- Serve and enjoy: Turn off the heat and transfer the zucchini omelette to a plate. Serve immediately with avocado slices, fresh tomato slices and whole-grain toast. You can also add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a touch of freshly ground black pepper for an even more appetizing look.
