Provided by The Mediterranean Dish

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large eggs
2 tbsp fat-free milk
1/4 tsp baking powder (optional)
1/2 tsp Spanish paprika
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Salt and pepper, to your liking (I used about 1/2 tsp each)
1 1/2 tsp Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
1 tzatziki sauce recipe to serve, optional
Warm pita to serve, optional
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp sliced pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 to 1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, more for later
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, more for later
Crumbled feta cheese, to your liking, optional

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk, baking powder (if using), spices, salt and pepper. Quickly and vigorously whisk to combine.
  • In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Be sure to tilt the skillet to coat the bottom well with oil.
  • Pour the egg mixture in and immediately stir with a heat-resistant spatula for like 5 seconds. Then push the cooked portions at the edge toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to fill in around the edges. When no more egg runs to the sides, continue to cook until almost set and the bottom is light golden (about 1 minute.) Remember, the omelette has more time to cook once filled and folded.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon a good portion of the toppings onto the center third of the omelette. Use the spatula to fold. Add the remainder of the toppings on top. Sprinkle a little more fresh herbs.
  • Slice the omelette into two halves and serve hot. If you like, add a side of Greek tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread. Enjoy!

Broccoli-and-Cheese Over-Easy Omelet image

Browning the cheese in the pan develops and concentrates the flavor so you can use less. Keeping the yolk whole but still runny creates a rich sauce for the omelet.

1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowed or have brown spots.
  • Cook the broccoli properly. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your omelet. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta.
  • Don't overcook the omelet. An overcooked omelet will be dry and rubbery. Cook the omelet just until it is set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the omelet immediately. Omelets are best served hot out of the pan. If you need to keep the omelet warm, place it in a warm oven (200 degrees Fahrenheit) until you are ready to serve.

Conclusion:

The Mediterranean broccoli cheese omelet is a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch option. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. The omelet is also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Mediterranean broccoli cheese omelet a try.
