  1. 1

    Heat oil in a small fry pan. Add onion; cook on low heat until translucent. Add zucchini, salt and pepper. Do not overcook. Zucchini should still have crunch.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl whisk eggs, and salt. Add the zucchini mixture; mix. Add finely diced sage or basil now if using. Add only 1 leaf; don't go crazy.

  3. 3

    Coat bottom and sides of fry pan with olive oil. Add zucchini egg mixture; have on low heat. Keep lifting up omelet and letting it run underneath; when almost dry on top, flip).

  4. 4

    Cover saucepan with a plate. Here is the hard part. SLOWLY, with the bottom part cooked, flip the mixture onto the plate and slide back into the pan, uncooked side down.

  5. 5

    Finish cooking. Do not burn yourself trying to do this.
