Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, chopped)
- Feta cheese (1/2 cup, crumbled)
- Eggs (4 large)
- Zucchini (1 medium, sliced)
Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- While the zucchini is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and the chopped fresh dill. Whisk until well combined and frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed zucchini in the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half over the feta. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still moist inside.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
