Zucchini omelette is a favorite recipe for many since it doesn't require much time to prepare and anyone can enrich it with ingredients of their choice. Eggs are a rich source of high biological value protein (about 7g per egg), vitamins (A, B12), and trace elements. Zucchini provides the body with dietary fiber and many antioxidants like the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which support healthy vision. So, this zucchini omelette becomes a very good meal choice.

Instructions

  1. You can also use fried potatoes, but here I use boiled ones to make it lighter and quicker.
  2. In a deep skillet, first heat the olive oil and sauté the boiled potatoes over low heat for 3-4 minutes until soft and glazed (not crispy).
  3. Add the spring onions and the thin zucchini slices, and continue sautéing for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs to combine, then add the feta, salt, freshly ground pepper, and dill.
  5. Add the milk.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and zucchinis.
  7. Using a fork, stir the ingredients from the edges toward the center so it cooks evenly.
  8. Shake the skillet by the handle, raise the heat to medium, and cover with a lid.
  9. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
  10. Carefully flip the omelette using the lid or a large, shallow plate.
  11. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  12. Transfer to a serving platter.
  13. Serve with tomato salad and feta cheese.

Tips

  • The milk adds moisture and makes it fluffy.
  • Do not cook over high heat so it has time to cook through.
  • Boiling the potatoes helps prevent them from soaking up oil.
