Broccoli and Cheddar

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (optional for fluffier texture)
• 1/2 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1/4 cup diced onions, 1/4 cup diced bell peppers

Direction

1. Prepare Ingredients

1. Chop the broccoli florets into small pieces.
2. If using, dice the onions and bell peppers.
3. Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.

2. Blanch Broccoli

1. Boil a small pot of water and add the broccoli florets.
2. Cook for about 2 minutes until they are tender but still bright green.
3. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

3. Whisk Eggs

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using) until well combined.
2. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Cook Vegetables

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil.
2. Add diced onions and bell peppers (if using) and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the blanched broccoli and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally.

5. Cook Omelette

1. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables.
2. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
3. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelette.

6. Fold and Finish

1. Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, gently fold it in half.
2. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
3. You can also cover the skillet with a lid for a minute to help melt the cheese and finish cooking the omelette.
