Recipe steps
Prepare the eggs
Beat the eggs with water in a bowl. Add the grated zucchini and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the pan
Heat the oil in a small non-stick pan.
Cook the first omelette
Pour half of the egg mixture into the hot pan and cook for 1 minute until the eggs start to set. Distribute half of the sliced chicken over the surface.
Finish cooking
Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, until the egg is golden underneath and just set on top. Slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it in half.
Repeat the process
Repeat with the remaining mixture for the second omelette. Serve with your favorite salad.
Tips and variations
- No chicken? Don’t hesitate to add diced bacon or bacon bits.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley for even more freshness.
- For a more indulgent version, add some grated cheese to the egg mixture.
Anti-waste tips

Slightly soft zucchini are perfect for this recipe - they don’t need to be super firm.
