Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the leeks, grate the zucchini, and mince the garlic.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the omelette is set and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- 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.
