Cheddar zucchini omelet

The Cheddar Zucchini Omelet is a delightful and nutritious breakfast option that combines the rich flavors of cheddar cheese with the fresh, mild taste of zucchini. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for those looking to enjoy a wholesome and satisfying meal to start their day.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
27g
3 eggs
170g
3/4 oz cheddar cheese
22g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 zucchini
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
- Thinly slice or grate the zucchini.
2. Heat the Pan:
- In a medium non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Zucchini:
- Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbly, add the sliced or grated zucchini to the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender. Remove the zucchini from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Beat the Eggs:
- In a mixing bowl, crack 3 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the eggs and whisk again.
5. Cook the Omelet:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
6. Add Fillings:
- Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the sautéed zucchini and grated cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
7. Fold the Omelet:
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filled side.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through but still moist.
8. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavors of the omelet.

- Grate or finely chop the zucchini to ensure even cooking and better texture.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking and to make flipping easier.

- Cook the omelet over medium heat to ensure the eggs cook evenly without burning.

- Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to customize the omelet to your taste.

With its perfect blend of savory cheddar and crisp zucchini, the Cheddar Zucchini Omelet is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed any time of the day.
