How to make courgette omelette
1. Let's start with the processing of the vegetables: let's see how to cook the courgettes immediately after having cleaned them properly. First wash and dry them, then grate them (so they will cook more quickly). Alternatively, you can cut them into rounds but in this case the cooking will be slightly longer.
2. Heat a clove of garlic with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan , the same one you will then use to cook the omelette. Leave the vegetables to cook and add salt and pepper.
3. Once the courgettes are ready, remove them and leave them aside. Don't go beyond 5/10 minutes, otherwise they will be overcooked .
4. In the meantime, in a bowl, beat the eggs with parsley , salt, pepper, a drop of milk and the cheese; finally, add the courgettes and mix well.
5. At this point, grease the pan with butter and pour in the mixture. Cook the omelette over low heat, so as to allow the heat to reach the center without burning it. Cover with a lid and, during cooking, prick the courgette omelette every now and then with a fork.
6. Once one side is cooked, you will have to turn it. Do this with the help of a plate, placing it over the pan: turn the pan and put the omelette back inside.
7. Cook for another 5 minutes on the other side . Once ready, let it rest on a plate and serve by cutting it into slices. Enjoy your meal!

Omelette roll with courgettes
For a truly original idea, however, we recommend making a wonderful courgette omelette roll. In this case, double the doses to be sure that it is not too thin and cook the omelette in the oven (180°C for about 15 minutes): place it, for convenience, in a baking tray or a rectangular dripping pan.
When it is cooked, let it cool (but without it becoming cold) and fill with spreadable cheese and ham . Roll up, cut into slices and enjoy!
Primo Chef's advice
- If you want a lighter version of this dish, you can vary some ingredients . First of all, you can reduce (or even eliminate) cheese and milk. Then just cook the courgettes without oil, using a little water to soften them ; finally, don't use butter!
- If, on the other hand, you want an even more delicious version , well… there are no limits! You can cook the courgettes with the onions and flavor the dish by placing sliced meats in the mixture, such as ham, mortadella or chopped salami. Furthermore, there is also the possibility of enriching the omelette with smoked provola or other delicious cheeses. Try it too!
- If you want to make a nice deep omelette, you can also insert a slice of bread soaked in milk into the mixture.

storage
The omelette is not a long-life preparation: for this reason it is best not to prepare too much of it. If you have any left over, keep it in the fridge in a container for a day at most .
