Zucchini Omelet (Avga me Kolokithakia)
- 1 1/2 pounds medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup finely crumbled feta
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Toss the zucchini with the salt in a colander set over a bowl and let drain for 30 minutes.
- Squeeze the excess water from the zucchini and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, feta and dill.
- Season with black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat.
- Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp-tender and browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini, tilting the pan so the eggs flow under and through the zucchini slices.
- Cook until the eggs begin to set, then reduce the heat to moderately low, cover and cook until the eggs are fully set, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and carefully invert the omelet onto a serving platter.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
