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.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add some chopped fresh chili or red pepper flakes to the zucchini while sautéing.
- You can also substitute the zucchini with spinach or bell peppers for a different flavor.
- Serve with a slice of whole-grain bread or a side salad for a more filling meal.
