Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini on a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Set them aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the grated zucchini to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens and any remaining moisture evaporates.

Step 6

Spread the zucchini evenly across the skillet and pour the egg mixture on top. Tilt the skillet gently to ensure the eggs coat the zucchini evenly.

Step 7

Cook the omelet over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes, or until the eggs start to set around the edges. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Use a spatula to carefully fold the omelet in half. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the omelet to cook through.

Step 9

Transfer the omelet to a plate, garnish with the chopped parsley, and serve hot.
