Flat Zucchini Omelet

February 15, 2010 by Monica Nelson 21 Comments

Thin and buttery…so Delicious. What I love is you can use any fresh herbs you have. I use thyme, basil, rosemary, or marjoram. It is your canvas to add what you please. This is a favorite simple pleasure.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb small zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs of your choice, dried is fine, but fresh is BEST
2 large eggs
1 large pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1. Trim ends of zucchini, then coarsely grate on large holes of a box grater. Toss zucchini with salt in a large bowl and let stand 30 minutes.
Transfer zucchini to a colander, then firmly squeeze handfuls to remove excess liquid.
(note: I sometimes skip the stranding and try to remove as much water by hand, because I get really impatient when I am hungry!).


2. 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 herbs, then let mixture cool to warm, about 15 minutes. (note: again, when impatient, I skip the cooling. When hunger hits I am not to be trifled with!)

3. Lightly beat eggs with zucchini and pepper in a large bowl, using a fork.

4. Heat butter in 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.

5. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook omelet until softly set but top is still moist, about 3 minutes.

6. Shake skillet to loosen omelet from pan, then slide omelet onto a large plate.

7. 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.

    One thing they did say about her though was that she loved olive oil, which is why she lived so long. Impressive when you sit down and think of it.
