Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small ripe tomato
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
🥄 1. Prep the Zucchini
Peel the zucchini and grate it finely using a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean towel or your hands and squeeze out the excess moisture — this helps prevent a soggy omelette.
Transfer the zucchini to a small non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil, and sauté over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden and softened.
🍅 2. Add the Tomato
Chop the tomato roughly and add it to the pan with the zucchini. Stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes, just enough for the tomato to release its juices and blend with the zucchini.
🍳 3. Pour in the Eggs
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and tomato in the pan, gently distributing it evenly.
Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges set, then stir lightly to help it cook evenly and form a soft, rustic texture.
🧺 4. Serve
Once thickened and fully cooked, remove from the heat.
Serve immediately with a slice of fresh, crusty bread or a side of Greek yogurt for a refreshing finish.
🌿 Optional Extras & Tips:
- Add crumbled feta or grated parmesan for a cheesy twist.
- A pinch of chili flakes can add a nice kick.
- Fresh herbs like basil or dill elevate the flavor beautifully.
- Make it a heartier meal by adding leftover roasted veggies or a dollop of pesto on top.
