Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 zucchini (cleaned and sliced into half-moons)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
- 1 leek (sliced into rings)
- 3.5 oz (100 g) light Galbanino cheese, grated
- 2 garlic cloves (sliced)
- 1 splash of extra virgin olive oil
- Spring onions, chopped (optional)
- Italian herbs (optional)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
How to prepare Vegetable Omelette:
- Preparing the vegetables: First, add some olive oil to a non-stick pan and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the leek begins to soften, add the diced bell peppers and sliced zucchini. Mix everything together and season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Add garlic and spring onions: Add the sliced garlic cloves and chopped spring onions. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine well with the vegetables.
- Preparing the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables in the pan and cook over medium heat without stirring until the eggs start to set. You can cover the pan to speed up the process.
- Baking in the oven: When the omelette is almost cooked, sprinkle the surface with grated light Galbanino cheese. Then place the pan in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 15 minutes, until the omelette is fully set and lightly browned on top.
- Serving: Remove the omelette from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed either hot or at room temperature.
