Cheesy Courgette Omelette - Fab Food 4 All
Today I bring you my Cheesy Courgette Omelette, something I often make at the weekend for our lunch but had never thought to post until one of my Facebook followers asked for the recipe! But before I get onto omelette I just want to say sorry for the unscheduled break from posting! After taking a few days off for half term last week I found my break extended following a dreadful bout of sciatica. Anyway I’m over the worst now thanks to some strong painkillers and anti-inflammatories and I’m hoping I get the feeling back in my right foot soon. I am my own worst enemy and need to spend less time behind a keyboard and more time taking exercise!

Anyway back to my Cheesy Courgette Omelette. I always seem to have courgettes in the fridge and a large carton of eggs so this is my go to omelette. It was my hubby who taught me the trick of finishing off an omelette under the grill and I have to say it gives a fabulous golden result with a light fluffy texture as the uncooked egg expands with the heat of the grill.

I have started adding a clove of garlic to this omelette lately but feel free to leave that out if you’re not keen. I do hope you try this lovely omelette which we always have with lashings of tomato ketchup. What are your favourite omelette ingredients? Do let me know in the comments.

Ingredients

  • 8 Eggs large
  • 75 mls milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 Courgettes sliced (enough to generously fill fry pan in single layer)
  • 1 Garlic clove crushed
  • 100 g Mature Cheddar cheese grated (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your grill to a high heat.
  • Whisk the eggs together.
  • Add the milk and seasoning and whisk again.
  • In a large frying pan heat up the oil to a medium high heat and fry the courgettes and garlic for about 6 minutes on both sides until cooked through and turning golden.
  • Turn down the heat to medium and add the whisked egg mixture.
  • As the omelette starts to set run a spatula around the outside and tipping the pan to allow the raw egg to escape over the sides of the omelette to speed up the cooking.
  • You can also slide you spatula into the body of the omelette to allow raw egg to reach the bottom of the omelette too.
  • Once you have repeated this process to the stage where there are only a few millimetres of raw egg left on top, scatter on the grated cheese.
  • Put under the grill and cook until golden and puffed up! (If you're using a non-stick pan that's not suitable for sticking under the grill then just slide the omelette onto a heatproof platter or baking tray).
  • Enjoy!

    This sounds lovely! I like the idea of finishing it off under the grill; it sounds like a nice straightforward way to get a perfect result.

    I’d never thought of using courgettes in an omlette. My husband loves omlettes and courgettes so will think of this next time! It’s a great ‘fridge-raid’ recipe 🙂 xx

      Thanks Kaz, I’m afraid the sciatica is back again so dosing up with Ibuprofen at the moment!
