Instructions

Make the filling: Cut zucchini into 1/4 inch (6mm) slices. Finely chop garlic with a knife. Shred cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
Heat oil in a large frying pan, add zucchini in an even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, letting zucchini brown, then cook, stirring from time to time, for a couple of minutes or until zucchini is browned and soft.
Add garlic, basil, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 30 seconds and take off the heat.
Make the omelet: Add eggs and milk to a mixing bowl. Season eggs with salt and pepper, beat with a fork until homogenous and foamy.
Melt butter in a small non-stick pan and add the egg mixture. Let the eggs cook for a couple of seconds then gently push cooked eggs from the outside towards the center using a spatula. Continue cooking, tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg mixture can run under the cooked portion of the omelet.
When the eggs are almost set but still a little bit wet in the middle, sprinkle cheese on one half of the omelet and top with sauteed zucchini.
Fold omelet in half and transfer to a plate.
Sprinkle with chives and enjoy!

Notes

I used half Swiss cheese (Emmentaler) and half Spanish sheep's cheese - it was great. Other good types of cheese would be Gruyere, cheddar, Spanish Manchego cheese, or just mozzarella/Swiss cheese + parmesan cheese.
