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.
BELL PEPPER VEGETARIAN OMELET
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, if using. Vigorously beat together with a fork, incorporating as much air as possible. Reserve.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion, if using, and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until tender.
- Add the chopped peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or just until the bell peppers are slightly tender. Turn off the heat.
- Let the vegetables cool slightly, then add them to the reserved beaten eggs and combine well.
- Using several paper towels, carefully wipe off the skillet and place it back over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter and move the pan around to make sure the butter coats the entire bottom.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Tilt the pan as you lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked parts in the middle to flow out to the edges. This helps the eggs to cook quicker and more evenly.
- Allow your vegetable omelet to cook until the bottom of the eggs is solid but not brown at all.
- Using a rubber spatula, flip it over entirely and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a plate. Or, fold the omelet in half and slide it off the pan onto a plate. The interior should be moist but not raw. Cut in half for 2 servings and enjoy!

GREEN TOMATO FRITTATA
This is an adaptation of a recipe I came across in "The Savory Way," by Deborah Madison. The acidic green tomatoes are nicely balanced by the neutral flavor of the eggs.

Steps:
- Core the tomatoes and slice half of them about 1/3 inch thick. Set aside. Peel the remaining tomatoes by dropping them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to a bowl of ice water. Cut in half, squeeze or scoop out the seeds, and chop fine.
- Season the sliced tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in the cornmeal. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy, nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the sliced tomatoes for two to three minutes on each side, just until lightly colored. Remove from the heat and set aside. If there is cornmeal in the pan, clean and dry the pan.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in the pan over medium heat, and add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, three to five minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the chopped tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have softened and are beginning to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the basil and chives.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper (I use about 1/2 teaspoon salt). When the chopped tomatoes have cooked down, turn the heat up to medium-high and pour in the eggs. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, letting the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Distribute the fried sliced green tomatoes over the surface of the frittata. Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom with a spatula. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
- Finish the frittata under the broiler for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking (it will slide around a bit in the nonstick pan) and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut in wedges and serve, or serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and green peppers. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your omelet.
- Chop the tomatoes and green peppers into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the omelet.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, with a slightly runny center.
- Season the omelet to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the omelet immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
