Lift the omelette as you cook ensuring uncooked egg creeps under the sides, cooking as quickly as possible.
TIP: Make double quantity of the zucchini and onion and refrigerate for no fuss omelet the following day. Make eggs up on the day to ensure freshness. This recipe used the “good oil” Olive oil. Even though many of my recipes use no oil, I personally add a little of the good oils to my cooking for better health. Don’t skimp too much on oil as you need it. Gallstones are a nasty side effect from too low fat diets. We need these oils for many reasons.
I make this often for breakfast as a high protein Breaky. Protein breakfasts ensure you won’t eat too much during the day and are great for accelerating weight loss.
