About this recipe
This hearty yet surprisingly light zucchini omelet is the perfect choice for an energetic start to your day. The eggs cook instantly, but for maximum tenderness and softness of the zucchini, we recommend lightly pre-boiling them. It's also best to first sauté the onions until golden and soft to add extra sweetness and aroma to the omelet. And for your omelet to be not only incredibly delicious but also look impeccable, fry it on both sides until golden brown. Just wait until the top sets, carefully flip it onto a plate, then return it to the pan on the other side and cook to perfection.

Preparation steps
Step 1
Begin with thorough preparation: wash the chicken eggs and fresh parsley. Then, peel and wash the zucchini, onion, and garlic. Get a deep frying pan ready so everything is at hand.
Step 2
Cut the zucchini lengthwise into four pieces, then slice it into thin, elegant strips.
Step 3
Place the chopped zucchini in a small saucepan, cover with boiling water from a kettle, and simmer over low heat. Cook for only 3-4 minutes, then drain the zucchini in a colander to remove all excess water.
Step 4
Finely dice the onion. Press the garlic through a garlic press to release its aroma. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
Step 5
Heat half a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Sauté the onion over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until soft and lightly golden.
Step 6
Whisk the chicken eggs with salt and black ground pepper in a bowl until smooth, using a whisk or mixer. Add the zucchini, fried onions, parsley, and garlic to the egg mixture. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a pan over high heat. Pour the omelet mixture into the pan, immediately cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to minimum. Cook the omelet for 10–15 minutes until it sets and becomes fluffy.
Step 8
Cover the pan with a flat plate and quickly, but very carefully, invert the omelet onto the plate, browned side up, so that it looks appetizing.
Step 9
Serve this magnificent omelet with your favorite toppings, such as fresh vegetables and a crispy slice of whole-grain bread, to create the perfect breakfast or a light dinner.
