Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil evenly coats the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is golden.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, pressing down gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Using a spatula, slide the omelette onto a plate and cut it in half for serving. Optionally, garnish with extra green onions or a sprinkle of cheese.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your nutritious meal!
Tips
- For extra creaminess, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the egg mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the chicken with turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Add spices like paprika or garlic powder to the egg mixture for an extra flavor boost.
