About this recipe
Courgette Omelette Thermomix TM7 is the answer when you are searching for an easy steamed egg recipe that turns a humble vegetable into something silky and satisfying. In this light main course, courgettes are gently cooked in the Varoma whilst the all-in-one kitchen machine blends eggs, spring onions, parsley and Parmesan into a smooth, airy base, with bread adding a lovely soft body to every slice. It works brilliantly as a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend brunch, because steaming keeps the courgettes tender and full of flavour rather than soggy. If you have a glut of courgettes from the garden or the market, this recipe is a delicious way to use them up. The Thermomix TM7 takes care of the steaming, mixing and heating steps so you can enjoy a fluffy, restaurant-style omelette with minimal effort and hardly any washing-up.
Preparation tips
- Line the Varoma tray with baking paper but leave several steaming holes uncovered, so the steam can still reach the courgettes and they cook evenly without sticking to the tray.
- Grate the Parmesan finely before adding it to the egg mixture so it distributes evenly throughout the omelette and melts gently, giving every slice a lovely savoury depth.
- For a kid-friendly version, dice the spring onions very finely or reduce the quantity, and cut the courgettes into smaller pieces so the texture stays appealing to younger eaters.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free variation: replace the Parmesan with a lactose-free hard cheese or nutritional yeast, and use lactose-free bread, so the courgette omelette stays fluffy and savoury for lactose-intolerant guests.
- Seasonal festive variation: in summer add diced tomatoes and fresh basil from the garden to the courgette mixture, and in winter fold through crispy bacon bits for a heartier weekend brunch version.
