Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped broccoli and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring it evenly covers the vegetables.
- Cook the omelette for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Lift the edges gently with a spatula to allow any runny egg to flow underneath.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the half-cooked omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. For a touch of freshness, consider serving with a side of mixed salad greens.
Tips
- For a creamy touch, you can add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of feta cheese on top before serving.
- This omelette can also be filled with a variety of other vegetables such as bell peppers, tomatoes, or spinach, making it a great recipe to use leftover veggies.
