Omelette with zucchini

kiausiniene-su-cukinijomis1


So, maybe I should try to come back from my holidays. It’s very hard but when I feel coming autumn in the morning and see yellow leaves in the garden I understand that I should move on. I was at home very rarely, and when I was at home I had no time to be in the kitchen, and when I had time to be in the kitchen I didn’t like tried recipes :) But today I say that everyone who wants light dinner, or solid breakfast should make this omelette with zucchini.

 

(2-3 servings)

1 onion

1 glass grated zucchini

50 g grated cheese

2 tablespoons flour

4 eggs

oil for frying

salt

pepper

 

Saute onions. Strain off zucchini juice. Mix all ingredients and fry on low heat. When the bottom will be lightly brown, carefully flip omelette and fry from other side till it will be brown. Server with tomato sauce
