Ingredients
- 1 medium (150g), thinly sliced zucchini
- 1/2 medium (75g), thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/4 medium (30g), finely diced red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 50g, crumbled feta cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp, chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 150g thinly sliced zucchini, 75g thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 30g finely diced red onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Step 2: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until fully combined. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, tilting to evenly distribute.
- Step 3: Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges set, then sprinkle 50g crumbled feta and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the top. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 more minutes until eggs are fully set but still tender.
- Step 4: Slide onto a plate, slice into wedges, and serve warm with extra dill for garnish.
