Steps:
- In a large or medium-size non-stick skillet, and on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and chopped onions. Saute for about 2 minutes, until the onions are softened.
- Add chopped zucchini and saute zucchini for a few minutes until the zucchini is cooked and softened, stirring occasionally about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, lightly scramble 3 eggs in a mixing bowl. Transfer the zucchini into the eggs, add the grated cheeses and stir until well combined.
- Using the same skillet (and no need to clean it), heat on medium heat, and add the additional tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, gently pour in the egg and zucchini mixture and lower the heat to low. Gently shake the skillet to make sure the omelet isn't sticking to the bottom. Simmer on lowest heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or more if needed (it's a thicker omelet).
- Use a spatula and gently lift one side of the omelet to see if the eggs are golden brown, and not burning. When the eggs on the bottom are cooked (not loose or running).
- Then use a small plate, one that is about the same size of the skillet and turn it over and on top of the omelet, hold your hand on top of the plate and carefully flip over the omelet onto the plate. Then slide the omelet back into the skillet to finish cooking, additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove and cut into pieces and serve.
- Yields: 2 to 3 servings

OMELET WITH ONIONS, ZUCCHINI, AND FONTINA

Steps:
- Coat a small, nonstick saute pan lightly with olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt, and bring the pan to a medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and season lightly with salt. Cook the onions and zucchini, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the beaten egg mixture (be sure that the mixture is smooth-no hunks of egg white). Using a small, heatproof rubber spatula, stir the zucchini mixture throughout the eggs. Don't worry about messing up the eggs, they will smooth out. Tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run to the sides of the pan to create a wide, flat "scrambled egg". Swirl the pan around occasionally to loosen the eggs from the bottom of the pan.
- When the eggs are three-quarters of the way cooked through, sprinkle the middle third of the omelet with the grated fontina and most of the chives (save some chives for garnish). Turn off the heat.
- Using the spatula, fold the left third of the omelet over the cheese/chive mixture. Press gently to secure.
- Gently shake the pan to be sure that the omelet is loosened from the pan. Gently lay the right third of the omelet down on a serving plate and flip the other 2/3 of the omelet on top. The omelet should be folded like a letter.
- Garnish the top with the remaining chives and serve with Mesclun Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.
- For the vinny: In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard. Mix until smooth. While mixing, start adding the oil into the vinegar/mustard mix drop by drop. Really-one drop at a time! One the drop has mixed in, add the next drop-this shouldn't really be an arm workout.
- When the mixture starts to look smooth and velvety, the oil can be added a little bit faster. Continue this way until all the oil has been added. When done, it should look very smooth, shiny, and homogeneous.
- Add the garlic and season with salt. Taste it, it should taste good! Season with salt again, if needed.
- To assemble the salad: Toss together the mesclun, cukes, tomatoes, and onions. Dress lightly with the vinaigrette. (You will not need to use all the dressing you made. Store the extra in the fridge and bring to room temperature when ready to use.)
- Season vinaigrette with salt, if needed. Taste! The salad should be very flavorful but not soggy.
- Plate the salad, piling it up so the lettuce looks fluffy and healthy and is adorned with the veggies. Using a veggie peeler, shave the cheese on top.

SPICY ZUCCHINI OMELET
First place winner of the Summer 2011 Dining on a Dollar Contest, this is a quick and easy Mexican influenced omelet. The qualifying ingredients are zucchini, eggs, purple onion, cumin and salsa. Thanks to everyone who tested, reviewed and rated this recipe, I appreciate your time and comments. I have revised the recipe slightly based on reviews during the contest, and have added a step to saute the zucchini and onions prior to adding them to the eggs. Feel free to reduce the number of eggs to suit the number of diners or your personal preferences. Thanks again, everyone! :D *Tink
