Toast the almonds on medium-high heat until they are dark but not burnt, then cool them down.

Place the toasted almonds in a bag and break them with a rolling pin to create uneven pieces.

Break 6 eggs and add them directly into the broken almonds.

Add sugar to the egg and almond mixture and mix well.

Add 1 spoonful of flour to the mixture and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Prepare the custard using milk, sugar, and cornstarch until it is dense.

Prepare the zucchini marmalade by boiling down zucchini with sugar until it becomes a thick marmalade.

Heat a non-stick pan and add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread it evenly, ensuring it's not too thick.

Cook the omelet until it starts to set, then add custard, chocolate, and zucchini marmalade in the center.

Flip the omelet once the bottom is dark and cook the other side until it reaches a nice dark color.

Plate the finished dish and sprinkle with a little nutmeg.
