Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Butter (1 tablespoon)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Milk (2 tablespoons)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
  • Eggs (3 large)
  • Broccoli florets (1 cup, steamed and chopped)
  • Fresh herbs (optional) (for garnish, such as chives or parsley)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until the mixture is well combined and frothy.
  2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it melts and begins to bubble.
  3. Add the steamed and chopped broccoli florets to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes to allow them to absorb the buttery flavor.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed broccoli. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges begin to set.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelette, ensuring that every forkful has a cheesy bite.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
  7. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
