In a 10-in. broiler-proof skillet, saute zucchini and onion in butter until crisp-tender. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, water, thyme, salt and pepper; pour over vegetables. Cook over medium heat; as eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath.

This was a relatively quick, healthy dish that my family called "delicious." Also, the zucchini I had was leftover and already cooked, so the saut?ing took even less time. I didn't have parmesan on hand, so I used Polish morski cheese (somewhat like swiss) instead--and it worked great!

I thought the flavor of this was outstanding, and loved the combination of the onions, zucchini and tomato.

Always looking for more ways to use zucchini. I used oregano and basil instead of thyme. This was quick and delicious.
