Equipment
- Skillet
- Chef's Knife
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 tbsp Skim milk
- Salt and fresh pepper
- Oil spray
- 1/2 cup Broccoli, cooked
- 1 slice Swiss cheese, WW reduced fat
Instructions
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and add the egg whites, skim milk, salt, and fresh pepper. Use a whisk or fork to beat the mixture until it’s well combined and slightly frothy.
- Next, heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, spray it lightly with oil spray.
- Carefully pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs cover the entire surface.
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, reduce the heat to low flame.
- Now, lay the Swiss cheese slice right in the center of the eggs. Then, sprinkle the cooked broccoli on top of the cheese.
- As the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are set, use your spatula to carefully fold the sides of the omelet over the fillings.
- Allow the folded omelet to cook for an additional minute or so, just until the insides are heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. You can garnish it with extra broccoli or a sprinkle of pepper if desired.
