Easy-Omelet With Zucchini, Goat Cheese, And Mint
serves 4 to 6

Zucchini Mint Goat Cheese OmeletINGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • Fine sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 15 leaves fresh mint, chiffonade
  • 4 ounces fresh chèvre (goat cheese)

PROCEDURE

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a 9-inch sauté pan (not skillet), melt the butter over medium-low heat.  Add the zucchini and season with salt and pepper.  Lower the heat to low, and cover, stirring every so often until zucchini is tender, about 7 minutes.  Set aside to cool uncovered.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mint, salt, and pepper.

Crumble the goat cheese, and arrange on top of the zucchini in the same pot the zucchini has cooked.  Pour the egg mixture over the top, adjusting the zucchini with clean hands or a fork so they lie parallel to the bottom of the pan.

Bake 30 minutes until set.  Then broil about 7 minutes, until puffed, bubbling, and golden.  Cut into 6 wedges and serve immediately with chopped green pistachios as garnish.
