How to Make Summer Squash Omelet

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow squash, 1/2 cup chopped zucchini, and 1/4 cup chopped onion.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a 7-10 inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Pour half of the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
  8. As the edges begin to set, gently tilt the pan and use a spatula to push the cooked portions toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  9. When the top is mostly set but still slightly wet, sprinkle half of the cooked vegetable mixture over one half of the omelet.
  10. Fold the omelet in half or roll it up.
  11. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
  12. Repeat steps 6-11 with the remaining egg mixture and vegetables.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
