Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ medium zucchini / courgette
  • 1 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives
  • 2 slices of sourdough
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt
  • pepper
  • fresh Pesto optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil spray

Method
 

  1. Grate the courgette / zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture using a paper towel. Chop the parsley and chives.
  2. Heat a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray in a non-stick pan / skillet over medium heat. Add the grated zucchini (courgette) to the skillet and cook until tender and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the pan / skillet and set aside.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked zucchini (courgette), chopped parsley, and chives. Wipe the pan clean and heat a little more olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat.
  4. Preheat the grill to 180C or 360F. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Turn the gas to low heat. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set. Gently run the rubber spatula around the edge of the pan so the egg mixture doesn't stick , allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath to cook.
  5. Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, dollop the reduced-fat cream cheese on one half of the omelette. Finishing cooking the omelette under the grill for 1-2 minutes till the egg has cooked and the cheese has melted. Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cream cheese.
  6. While the omelette is cooking, toast the slices of sourdough bread until golden and crispy. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve with the toasted sourdough on the side. Optionally, garnish with extra chives or parsley, and a drizzle of pesto!
