Ingredients:

1/3 cup white rice
72g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
3 leeks
540g
3 zucchini
900g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup parsley
30g
2 tbsp dill
30g
6 eggs
300g
3/4 cup feta cheese
170g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:
- Cook the rice according to package instructions. This usually involves rinsing the rice, bringing it to a boil in water, and simmering until tender. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Slice the leeks, grate the zucchini, and mince the garlic.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the leeks, zucchini, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, spearmint, and dill.
- Add the beaten eggs and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
6. Bake the Omelette:
- Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or use a non-stick spray.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Cook:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the omelette is set and golden on top.
8. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve warm, perhaps with a side salad or some crusty gluten-free bread.

Tips:

- Make sure to cook the leeks and zucchini thoroughly before adding them to the egg mixture to bring out their flavors and ensure they are tender.

- Chop the garlic finely to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the omelette without overpowering the other ingredients.

- Use fresh herbs whenever possible for the best flavor; if you don't have fresh spearmint or dill, you can substitute with dried, but use about half the amount.

- Let the omelette rest for a few minutes after baking before cutting it, as this helps it set and makes it easier to slice.

- Enjoy the omelette warm or at room temperature; it makes excellent leftovers and can be served cold.

Once baked, this Greek-style omelette is a colorful and appetizing dish that's ready to be savored. The combination of leeks, zucchini, and feta creates a rich and satisfying flavor profile, while the fresh herbs add a wonderful aromatic touch. It's a wholesome and delicious meal that celebrates the flavors of Greece.
