Not Your Usual Omelette is a layered casserole that combines the delicacy of zucchini with the bold flavor of Swiss chard, creating a harmony of flavors and a creamy, enveloping texture.

Made with the same ingredients as an omelette, thus, eggs, vegetables, and grated Parmesan, but baked in the oven. Additionally, the zucchini acts as a shell for the chard, creating a unique, pleasant, and original appearance and texture.

The zucchini, sliced into rounds, are the main element and give the dish a soft texture and a sweet taste. The chard, which can include both leaves and stalks, adds a slightly fibrous texture that pleasantly contrasts with the tenderness of the zucchini.

Baking allows for a crispy crust to form. This crust, made even more flavorful with the addition of grated cheese, pleasantly contrasts with the soft and creamy heart of the casserole.

The final result is a versatile dish, which can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is perfect to prepare in advance and serve hot or at room temperature, making it ideal for family lunches, dinners with friends, or buffets.
