The Recipe How-To
Before starting to cook, prepare your ingredients. This will ensure that you won’t miss a thing!
- Step 1: Prep the Zucchini and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Start by dicing the zucchini and finely chopping the sun-dried tomatoes. Be sure to pat dry the sun-dried tomatoes with paper towels to remove any excess oil so that the omelet is not too greasy.
- Step 2: Whip the Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whip together the eggs, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. You can add two tablespoons of water or dairy-free milk to make it fluffy.
- Step 3: Cook the Zucchini and Onions
Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in a tablespoon of olive oil. Now, add in the prepped diced zucchini, along with some chopped onion if desired. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Cook until they turn glossy and tender, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4: Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cheddar Cheese
Next, add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and some shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Step 5: Pour Egg Mixture into Skillet
Pour in a whipped egg mixture over the cooked vegetables. Once poured, let it cook undisturbed for around 1-2 minutes until set on the bottom before proceeding with next step.
- Step 6: Fold Both Ends Together
Using your spatula, gently fold both ends of omelet one on top of the other till it resembles a half-moon shape.
- Step 7: Serve
Slide onto a plate and garnish with additional freshly chopped herbs or even red pepper flakes if desired! Eat right away and enjoy the deliciousness of this gluten-free and dairy-free omelet.
Substitutions and Variations
If you don’t have some of the ingredients or want to switch them up, there are a few substitutions and variations you can try with this recipe.
Firstly, feel free to mix up the veggies in your omelet. Instead of zucchini and green bell pepper, you can use other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or asparagus.
If you’re vegetarian, you can switch out the cheddar cheese for other dairy-free options like vegan cheese or yogurt cheese.
For a more savory twist, you can add some crumbled bacon or prosciutto to your omelet.
If you’re running low on eggs but still want to make an omelet, you can try using puff pastry instead. Bake it in the oven and then add your vegetables and cheese on top.
Finally, if you’re a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, you can make your own tomato pesto by blending sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and some basil. Spread it over your omelet before adding the veggies and cheese for even more flavor.
These are just a few ideas of how to switch up this recipe – don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you!
Serving and Pairing
This zucchini, sun-dried tomato and almond omelet is a perfect breakfast dish for those who need a gluten-free, dairy-free and healthy option. It’s filled with nutrient-packed ingredients that will fuel your body for the day ahead.
When it comes to serving this delicious omelet, I recommend pairing it with a side salad or some fresh, sliced avocado for extra creaminess. The omelet is already so flavorful that you don’t need too much on the side. A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing would be perfect, as it adds another dimension of flavor to the dish without detracting from its natural taste.
If you’re looking for something heartier, try pairing it with some gluten-free toast or roasted sweet potatoes. The textures of these additions complement the omelet well, and their flavors balance out the slight heat from the green bell pepper.
In terms of beverages, I suggest enjoying this dish with hot coffee or tea in the morning. Alternatively, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice would be a refreshing complement to the savory flavors of the omelet.
No matter how you choose to serve this zucchini, sun-dried tomato and almond omelet, one thing is certain – it’s going to be a delicious start to your day!

Tips for Perfect Results
To make sure your Scd gluten-free zucchini, sun-dried tomato, and almond omelet comes out perfect every time, here are some tips to follow:
1. Use fresh and organic ingredients
Using fresh, organic, unprocessed ingredients can make a big difference in your recipe’s taste and nutritional value. Make sure your eggs are of high quality and free-range, and your vegetables are fresh and not wilted. Choose GF-certified almond flour or meal and check if the sun-dried tomatoes are free from added preservatives.
2. Cook the zucchini long enough
When cooking the zucchini, be sure to give it enough time to cook down so that it is soft when added to the egg mixture. This will help ensure that your omelet is evenly cooked and not too watery.
3. Mix your eggs well
Be sure to whisk your eggs well together with salt and pepper before incorporating any other ingredients in the recipe. Mixing them vigorously will make the omelet fluffy and light.
4. Add toppings after pouring into the skillet
After pouring the egg mixture into a heated skillet coated with olive oil, wait for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings such as sun-dried tomatoes, sliced onions, chopped green bell peppers or shredded cheddar cheese, etc. This helps distribute the ingredients throughout the omelette and provides a more even texture.
5. Flip carefully
When it’s time to flip the omelet over, do it slowly and with confidence. The best way is to use a spatula like an extension of your hand so it won’t take you by surprise when you have to let go.
6. Rest before serving
After taking the omelet out of the skillet let it rest for a minute so that it settles before transferring it onto a plate for serving.
Follow these simple tips for a perfectly cooked Scd gluten-free zucchini, sun-dried tomato, and almond omelet every time.
