A neat way to use these inexpensive blossoms (a blessing if you garden). This is from Mireille Guilano. I haven't tried this way yet (having previously always fried them) but am looking forward to it.

SPICY ZUCCHINI OMELET



Spicy Zucchini Omelet image

First place winner of the Summer 2011 Dining on a Dollar Contest, this is a quick and easy Mexican influenced omelet. The qualifying ingredients are zucchini, eggs, purple onion, cumin and salsa. Thanks to everyone who tested, reviewed and rated this recipe, I appreciate your time and comments. I have revised the recipe slightly based on reviews during the contest, and have added a step to saute the zucchini and onions prior to adding them to the eggs. Feel free to reduce the number of eggs to suit the number of diners or your personal preferences. Thanks again, everyone! :D *Tink

Categories     Egg     Herb     Breakfast     Brunch     Vegetarian     Zucchini     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb small zucchini
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh marjoram flowers or leaves, or a pinch of dried marjoram
2 large eggs
1 large pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Trim ends of zucchini, then coarsely grate on large holes of a box grater. Toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and let stand 30 minutes.
  • Transfer zucchini to a colander, then firmly squeeze handfuls to remove excess liquid.
  • Heat olive oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté zucchini, stirring until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in marjoram, then let mixture cool to warm, about 15 minutes.
  • Lightly beat eggs with zucchini, pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, using a fork.
  • Heat butter in a 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides and butter has a nutty fragrance. Add egg mixture, distributing zucchini evenly with a heatproof rubber spatula, and cook, lifting up egg around edges occasionally to let any uncooked egg flow underneath, until egg mixture is set around edge, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to moderately low and cook omelet until softly set but top is still moist, about 3 minutes.
  • Shake skillet to loosen omelet from pan, then slide omelet onto a large plate.
  • Wearing oven mitts, invert skillet over omelet, then holding skillet and plate together invert omelet, browned side up, into skillet. Cook omelet until underside is set, about 1 minute, then slide omelet onto a serving plate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini with firm, dark green skin and no blemishes. Overgrown zucchini tend to have tough skin and larger seeds.
  • Prep the zucchini properly: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry. Slice it into thin, even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Seasoning is key: Don't be afraid to season your omelet generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance the flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the omelet, don't overcrowd the pan with too many ingredients. This will prevent even cooking and may result in a soggy omelet.
  • Cook over medium heat: Use medium heat when cooking the omelet to prevent burning and ensure even cooking throughout.
  • Be patient when flipping: Wait until the bottom of the omelet is set before attempting to flip it. This will prevent the omelet from breaking apart.
  • Serve immediately: Zucchini omelet is best served hot out of the pan. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Zucchini omelet is a versatile and delicious breakfast or brunch option that can be easily customized to your liking. With its combination of protein-packed eggs, tender zucchini, and a burst of flavors from seasonings and herbs, this omelet is sure to satisfy your taste buds. Follow these tips to ensure a perfectly cooked and flavorful zucchini omelet every time.
