1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini
1/2 cup thinly sliced summer squash
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons water
4 large eggs

  • With spatula, fold omelet in half, or roll.
  • Invert onto plate with a quick flip of the wrist or slide from pan onto plate. Keep warm.

GREEK BAKED SQUASH OMELET



Greek Baked Squash Omelet image

Greeks often add yogurt to their omelets, which contributes calcium, protein and bacteria long believed to help digestion. Yogurt also gives the omelet a light, fluffy texture. Make this with winter squash in winter and with zucchini in summer.

Time 1h

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and light green parts, cleaned and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 pound winter squash or zucchini, cut in 1/4- to 1/3-inch dice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
8 eggs
1/2 cup drained yogurt or thick Greek-style yogurt
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until tender, about three minutes. Add the garlic, stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the squash. Cook, stirring, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes for winter squash, about 8 minutes for zucchini. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the dill and the mint. Remove from the heat.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 2-quart casserole or in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in the yogurt and the Parmesan. Stir in the squash or zucchini mixture.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and scrape in the egg mixture. Place in the oven, and bake 30 minutes or until puffed and lightly colored. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For best results, use a firm, dense squash such as butternut squash, acorn squash, or zucchini.
  • Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles: This is the easiest way to create long, thin strands of squash that will cook evenly in the omelet.
  • Season the squash noodles well: Be generous with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. This will help to enhance the flavor of the omelet.
  • Cook the squash noodles until tender: Do not overcook the squash noodles, or they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add your favorite fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients to your omelet, such as cheese, cooked meat, or vegetables.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat: This will help to prevent the eggs from burning and ensure that the omelet is cooked evenly throughout.
  • Fold the omelet in half: Once the omelet is cooked, fold it in half and serve immediately. This will help to keep the omelet warm and juicy.
