Directions
Whisk liquid eggs with salt and pepper. In 9” (23 cm) non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Pour in eggs.
As eggs set on bottom, pull edges into middle of pan, tipping pan to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. When egg is almost set; cook about 1 minute or until bottom is golden and top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle broccoli and cheese evenly over one half of omelette. Using a spatula, fold other half of omelette over broccoli mixture. Cut in half and slide onto two plates.
Tips
Use any leftover cooked vegetables. Or cook vegetables in microwave about 1 minute or until tender crisp. Serve with crusty bread* and a tossed salad.
