The Spinach and Zucchini Omelette emerges from the skillet as a tender, lacy triangle of green and creamy golden folds. The aroma of melting butter and sautéed spinach wafts upwards, mingling with the freshness of zucchini. A gentle press of the spatula releases a delicate layer of omelette, showcasing the tender herbs within.
Ingredients
- 8-12 fresh eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
- 1 medium zucchini, grated on the large holes of a box grater
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon grated aged Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- 1Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt until the whites and yolks are fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
- 2Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 3Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 4Add the grated zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and release its moisture, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it has wilted, about 1 minute.
- 6Pour 2 eggs into the skillet over the vegetables and cook, tilting the pan to distribute the egg evenly, until the edges start to set, about 1 minute.
