I’ve always loved omelettes (my obsession really began while travelling in Nepal back in January 2024), but this recipe is a brand new creation I put together just last week. It’s quick, simple, and absolutely packed with flavour and nutrition ~ the kind of meal that works just as well for breakfast as it does for a speedy lunch or dinner.

This Pesto Tuna, Zucchini & Mushroom Omelette is creamy, satisfying, and nutrient-dense. The combination of tender zucchini and mushrooms, rich tuna, and the fresh punch of basil pesto makes it a winner. Top it off with melty cheese and fresh parsley, and you’ve got a wholesome meal on the table in under 10 minutes.

**Ingredients (Serves 1)**

½ medium zucchini, thinly sliced
70 g button mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ tbsp basil pesto (or you can swap for red pesto if you like!)
95 g tuna in spring water, drained
3 eggs
20 g tasty cheese, grated
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of salt

Method

Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add zucchini and mushrooms, sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Remove from the pan, then stir through the pesto and tuna.
Make the omelette: In a small bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined. Pour into the same pan over medium heat, tilting so the egg spreads evenly.
Fill and fold: Once the eggs are half set, spoon the zucchini, mushroom, pesto, and tuna mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle with cheese.
Finish cooking: Fold the omelette over the filling and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until the cheese has melted and the centre is hot.
Serve: Slide onto a plate and top with fresh parsley before serving.
