Provençal Vegetable Omelet with Country Toast
A fluffy herb-scented omelet folds around tender zucchini, juicy tomatoes, and tangy goat cheese, served with crisp whole-grain country toast.
Ingredients
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🥚 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
- 🥒 1/2 cup diced zucchini
- 🍅 2/3 cup diced ripe tomato
- 🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 🧀 1 ounce soft goat cheese, crumbled
- 🍞 3 ounces whole-grain country bread
- 🫒 1 1/4 teaspoons olive oil
- 🧂 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 🫙 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Set a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and warm it for 1 minute; set a toaster or toaster oven to medium-high while the skillet heats.
- Toast the whole-grain bread until deeply golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes, then set it on a plate.
- Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to the skillet, then add the zucchini and tomato; cook over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds, until the zucchini is tender and the tomato has softened, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the basil, kosher salt, and black pepper, cook for 30 seconds, then transfer the vegetables to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- Whisk the eggs and egg whites in the bowl until evenly blended and lightly foamy, about 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-low heat until it shimmers, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the egg mixture and cook without stirring for 1 minute, then gently pull the set edges toward the center while tilting the skillet so uncooked egg flows underneath; continue until the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Spread the vegetables over one half of the omelet, scatter the goat cheese on top, and fold the empty half over the filling; cook for 30 seconds, then slide the omelet onto the plate beside the toast and rest for 1 minute before serving.
