Making omelets in a waffle iron is a game-changer. The handy appliance cooks them lightning-fast, giving them a slightly crispy crust and fluffy interior. These omelets are filled with shredded zucchini, which you’ll need to wring out first to rid it of excess moisture. The mild squash allows you to sneak in some veggies and ensures the omelets stay moist. Parmesan cheese and scallions take the flavour to a decidedly savoury place; you can substitute Pecorino Romano, if you’d like. For extra richness and even more protein, top each serving with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
