High protein zucchini omelet

I’ve prioritized protein and veggies and made it a point to add a cup of veggies to every meal. It’s a great way to get your daily fiber – I aim for at least 25 grams every day. Omelettes are such an easy way to achieve this goal! This veggie omelet features a whole cup of zucchini and a mix of egg and egg white for extra lean protein. Other of my favorite omelettes are Goat’s Cheese and Herb Omelet with Nova Lox, Broccoli and Cheese Omelet and Open Omelette with Feta, Roasted Tomato and Spinach.

Omelette ingredients

• Onion: Chop 1/4 cup red onion.
• Zucchini: Dice the zucchini into matchsticks.
• eggs: You will need 1 egg and 3/4 cup egg white, so about 6 eggs. You can also buy liquid egg whites from the grocery store to save time.
• Parmesan: Grated or grated parmesan cheese will do.
• Salt and pepper: Keep it simple with salt and pepper for seasoning.

Should I cook my veggies before putting them in an omelet?

You should cook the vegetables for a few minutes before adding the eggs to soften them.

How to make an omelet

• Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and sauté for two to three minutes. Add the courgettes, season with salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until tender.
• whisk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
• Cook: Pour the eggs over the vegetables in the pan. Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are set, about five minutes. Turn the omelette onto your plate.

Omelet variations:

• Vegetables: Swap yellow squash for zucchini or add 1 cup of your favorite veggie.
• eggs: Feel free to use more whole eggs instead of egg whites.
• Protein: Add lean breakfast sausage or ham for even more protein.
• Spice up: If you like your food spicy, drizzle sriracha or hot sauce over the omelet.
• double the recipe to feed more people.
