MEDITERRANEAN BROCCOLI & CHEESE OMELET

Mediterranean Broccoli & Cheese Omelet image

My Italian mother-in-law taught me to make this omelet years ago-she would make it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and eat it on Italian bread. This is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover broccoli. -Mary Licata, Pembroke Pines, Florida
