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:
Instructions:
- Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
- Thinly slice or grate the zucchini.
- In a medium non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
