Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 ¼ cup small broccoli florets
¼ + ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ + ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large eggs
¼ cup reduced-fat (2%) milk
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Set the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly coat a quarter sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Cook the Broccoli: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. If the pan starts to dry out, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water (1 tablespoon at a time) to help cook the broccoli without using more oil.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until light and frothy. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Assemble the Omelet: Spread the sautéed broccoli evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli. Top with the grated Cheddar cheese.
- Bake the Omelet: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the omelet is set and lightly golden on top. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the omelet. If it comes out clean or with just a few cooked egg bits clinging to it, the omelet is ready.
- Serve: Cut the omelet into 6 squares and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add More Veggies: You can easily customize this omelet with additional vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, onions, or mushrooms.
- Add Protein: For a heartier meal, add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham to the omelet.
- Use Different Cheese: Swap out the cheddar for another cheese such as mozzarella, feta, or Swiss for a different flavor.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or oat milk and a dairy-free cheese to make this omelet dairy-free.
