Zucchini Flat Omelet Recipe

By on Jun 20, 2010 in Recipes | comments(0)

Linda’s comment:  I love Omelets but this one is so yummy you will want to eat the whole thing at one setting. 

  • Zucchini Flat Omelet 

  •  
    • 4 teaspoons organic extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    • 1 cup diced organic zucchini (1 small)
    • 1/2 cup organic chopped onion
    • 1/2 cup organic grape tomatoes or organic cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1/4 cup slivered fresh mint
    • 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided (sea or bio-salt)
    • Freshly ground pepper to taste
    • 5 large organic eggs
    • 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese (2 ounces) (other cheese to use is feta or ricotta salata)

Directions

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and onion; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, mint, basil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper; increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the moisture has evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds.

2. Whisk eggs, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and a grinding of pepper in a large bowl until blended. Add the zucchini mixture and cheese; stir to combine.

3. Preheat the broiler.

4. Wipe out the pan and brush it with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil; place over medium-low heat. Add the frittata mixture and cook, without stirring, until the bottom is light golden, 2 to 4 minutes. As it cooks, lift the edges and tilt the pan so uncooked egg will flow to the edges.

5. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the omelet is set and the top is golden, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Loosen the edges and slide onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

****Can find the Bio-Salt I use at http://biosaltusa.com/biosaltusa/ Tell Mildred that Linda sent you…I love this salt better than sea salt….
