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
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until the mixture is well combined and frothy.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it melts and begins to bubble.
- Add the steamed and chopped broccoli florets to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes to allow them to absorb the buttery flavor.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed broccoli. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelette, ensuring that every forkful has a cheesy bite.
- 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.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
Tips
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier kick, incorporate diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the egg mixture.
- If you prefer a fluffier omelette, separate the egg whites from the yolks, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, and then gently fold them into the yolk mixture before cooking.
