The recipe for the omelet roll with zucchini; the savory idea that saves dinner and more!

Tell me the truth: do you belong to that category of people who plan lunch and dinner for the whole week, or to those who go to bed at night thinking “what should I prepare tomorrow?”

I won’t hide from you that for quite some time, I was part of the second category, then I solved it with a weekly board (I’ll leave you the link below) purchased on Amazon and so usually on the weekend I make the weekly menu, check the fridge and pantry, and then go grocery shopping accordingly.

You might be wondering “so what? What’s the connection with the omelet roll?” It’s connected because this recipe was born to use up zucchini and a pack of expiring ham, and above all, I needed to invent something for dinner.

So, after grating the zucchini, I gathered them in a bowl with eggs, Parmesan, and a little more, and in no time, I had the base ready for my omelet roll with zucchini.

But instead of continuing the story, let’s go to the kitchen and prepare this tasty roll which is also perfect for taking on a picnic or serving at a buffet.
