Mix the batter:
- In a bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
- Add the zucchini (pulp or grated), parsley, spring onions, and flour.
- Season with pepper and cinnamon (and salt, if using). Stir until fully combined. -
Cook your omelette:
Stovetop option: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the mixture and spread evenly. Let it cook until the bottom is set and golden (about 4 minutes), then carefully flip and cook the other side.
Oven option (for a flawless finish): Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish or skillet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and set.
