1 piece (medium) of Zucchini Omelette (120 g) has 114 calories. That works out to 95 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.8 g of carbs, 9.2 g of protein, 6.8 g of fat and 1.6 g of fiber. Its 13.2 µg of Biotin covers 44% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A zucchini omelette is a simple egg dish made by folding grated or chopped zucchini into beaten eggs and cooking the mixture in a pan. It is a familiar home-style preparation in many places rather than a dish tied to one specific origin; the zucchini may be softened first or cooked with the eggs.
The result is tender and savoury, with mild, slightly sweet pieces of zucchini throughout. Serve it warm for breakfast or a light lunch, perhaps with toast, a salad or fresh herbs. Eggs make it a useful source of protein, while the zucchini adds vegetable flavour and some fibre. For a lighter version, use a non-stick pan and only a little oil.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook grated or finely chopped zucchini in a pan until its moisture has evaporated. Pour in beaten eggs, then cook gently until set, folding or flipping the omelette as you prefer. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Yes, cook the zucchini first for a zucchini omelette. Raw zucchini releases water as it heats, which can leave the eggs watery and unevenly cooked; sautéing it beforehand gives the omelette a firmer texture.
To keep a zucchini omelette from getting watery, squeeze excess liquid from grated zucchini or cook it in the pan until the moisture evaporates. Let it cool slightly before mixing it with the eggs.
Yes, you can bake a zucchini omelette. Cook the zucchini first, combine it with beaten eggs, and transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Bake until the center is set rather than relying only on browned edges.
Feta, goat cheese, and cheddar all pair well with zucchini in an omelette. Crumble or grate the cheese into the egg mixture, and taste before adding salt because feta and other brined cheeses can be salty.
Yes, a zucchini omelette works well without milk. Eggs set on their own, and the cooked zucchini provides moisture; for a tender result, cook the omelette gently and take it off the heat as soon as the eggs are set.
Dill, parsley, basil, and chives complement zucchini in an omelette. Add chopped fresh herbs to the beaten eggs or scatter them over the finished dish; dill and feta make a particularly familiar pairing.
Serve a zucchini omelette with a green salad, sliced tomatoes, or toasted bread for a simple meal. For brunch, roasted potatoes or fruit also work well without overpowering the mild zucchini flavor.
Yes, a zucchini omelette can be eaten cold if it has been refrigerated promptly after cooking. Its texture will be firmer when chilled, so let it sit briefly at room temperature or reheat it gently if you prefer it warm.
Use a well-heated nonstick pan and lightly coat it with oil or butter before adding the zucchini omelette mixture. Keep the heat moderate and wait until the underside is set before trying to fold or turn it.
