Yield: 1 to 2 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup small broccoli florets
  2. 2 tablespoons clarified butter (or 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter)
  3. 1/4 cup diced Roma tomatoes
  4. 1/4 cup diced yellow onions
  5. 1/4 cup diced green pepper
  6. 1/4 cup diced mushrooms
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 3 eggs, well-beaten
  9. 1 ounce Muenster, shredded
  10. 1 ounce Cheddar, shredded
  11. Whole wheat toast and fresh fruit, as accompaniments

Instructions

  1. Steam the broccoli, either in a microwave or steamer, until tender and reserve.
  2. Melt the butter in an omelet pan or small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, onions, peppers, and mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently until the onions soften and the tomato juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pan and season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the vegetables. Cook until the eggs begin to set 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheeses over the omelet. Cook until the eggs are no longer runny then fold the omelet in half. Raise the heat if the omelet is not brown. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, if necessary, then transfer to a plate and serve with whole-wheat toast and fresh fruit.

A few things are off in this recipe, including proportions of vegetables to eggs. Also, too much butter. Simply pouring the egg over the vegetables didn’t work for me. Made the omelet soggy. Much better to cook the eggs first then put the fillings inside. I added a little garlic powder. Otherwise it tastes bland.

This was great recipe, and I like ease of an omelet. Previously I would sprinkle veggies over the eggs as they Cookes and this builds so much more flavor. Next time I will use onions, celery, and mushrooms diced…. and gruyere!

Excelent, simple & very tasty! My first attempt at a Food Network recipe and it was a snap. I left out the brocolli, and substituted a canola/vegetable oil blend for the clarified butter, and red pepper for the green pepper. Came out kind of like a cross between scrambled eggs and an omlette, but tasted great and defenitely will be one of my favorites.

I would cut the butter to only 1 tbsp. It was very good, I enjoyed the broccoli in it, I never thought to put broccoli in eggs before. I would put the tomatoes in with the broccoli rather than the onions, they were a bit over done and lost texture and flavor. I didn’t add mushrooms to mine and I used colby/jack rather than muenster.

This is just a killer “omelet”. You can use just about any leftover ingredient in the house with an appropriate cheese. Ihave made all kinds of different toppings and nothing could be simpler. A real winner.

I tried this very easy and fast recipe for my family of four, and they loved it! It is now a regular request at the breakfast table.
