Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
  • Broccoli (1 cup, chopped)
  • Ham (1/2 cup, diced)
  • Eggs (4 large)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
  3. Add the diced ham and chopped broccoli to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and bright green.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs over the ham and broccoli mixture, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs cover the filling evenly.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
  6. Once the edges start to set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
  7. Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
