- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
- Milk (2 tablespoons)
- Eggs (4 large)
- Broccoli florets (1 cup, steamed)
- Cooked chicken breast (1 cup, shredded)
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.
