Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup chopped zucchini
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (divided)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Recipe Instructions:
-
Saute Vegetables: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet. Add chopped zucchini, green onion, and tomato. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, water, half of the salt, dried basil, celery salt, and half of the pepper until well combined.
-
Cook Omelet: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in the egg mixture. As the mixture begins to set, gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula and tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
-
Add Fillings: When the egg is set and no longer runny, sprinkle the sauteed zucchini mixture over half of the omelet and sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the other half.
-
Fold and Serve: Fold the omelet in half using a spatula and slide it onto a warm serving platter.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure the skillet is adequately heated before pouring in the egg mixture to promote even cooking.
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
