Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 oz ground meat sausage, beef, chicken, turkey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ medium zucchini shredded, strained
- ½ whole green onion thinly sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar
Instructions
- Shred the zucchini and place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef or sausage and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat but leave a thin coat in the pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, shredded strained zucchini, sliced green onion, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture directly over the browned meat in the skillet. Gently pull the edges of the egg inward with a spatula as it sets, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges until fully cooked through.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar over ½ of the top and allow it to melt, approximately 1 minute.
- Fold the omelette in half, slide onto a plate, and top with extra sliced green onion and freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
