Description

Fluffy golden omelette folded over a creamy, herb-loaded filling of finely chopped broccoli, red onions, and cheese—perfect for a nourishing breakfast or light lunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (plus extra leaves for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  2. Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour in the eggs, swirling the pan to create an even layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes until edges are set.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, lightly sauté chopped broccoli and red onion until just tender, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Mix the sautéed vegetables with cheese, dill, and basil in a small bowl.
  6. Spoon the broccoli mixture onto one half of the omelette, then fold over and cook for another minute to melt the cheese.
  7. Slide onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for best flavor.
  • Adjust cheese type to preference or dietary needs.
  • Serve with whole grain toast or fresh salad for a complete meal.
