Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Take 250g of fresh broccoli. Carefully cut the florets from the main stem, ensuring they are separated into manageable pieces.
Place a pot on the stove and add water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the broccoli florets to the pot. Cook for approximately until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
Using a slotted spoon or strainer, remove the broccoli from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to a bowl filled with cold water. This stops the cooking process and helps retain the broccoli's vibrant color. Let it cool for about , then drain the water.
Transfer the cooled and drained broccoli to a cutting board. Using a knife, finely chop the broccoli florets into small, uniform pieces. This will ensure they mix well and cook evenly in the omelette.
Crack 3 eggs into a clean glass bowl. the eggs thoroughly with a fork until the yolks and whites are well combined and slightly frothy. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then again.
Grate 20g of mozzarella cheese directly into the egg mixture. Stir the cheese into the eggs until it's evenly distributed.
Add the finely chopped broccoli to the egg and cheese mixture in the bowl. Mix everything together well with a fork or spatula, ensuring the broccoli is fully coated with the egg mixture.
Place a frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and spread it evenly across the pan. Once the oil is hot, pour the entire broccoli and egg mixture into the pan. Spread the mixture evenly to form a round omelette. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for approximately , or until the bottom is golden brown and the top is mostly set.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, then invert it back into the pan to cook the other side. Alternatively, if comfortable, you can flip it directly in the pan. Cover again and cook for another , or until the second side is golden brown and the omelette is fully cooked through.
Once cooked, carefully slide the broccoli cheese omelette onto a serving plate. Cut it into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
