Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Green onions (2, sliced)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
  • 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

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil evenly coats the bottom of the skillet.
  3. 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.
  4. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over one half of the omelette.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve hot, and enjoy your nutritious meal!
