Broccoli and Cheese Omelette - Quesadilla Style


The main reason I love this combo: it's like a delicious and creamy broccoli cheddar soup on the inside! It's so melty and cheesy and filled with ooey-gooey goodness! The classically comforting flavors just bring you back to a simpler time. Ahhh the powers of cheese ;)


Ingredients:

  • 2-3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 c cooked broccoli (the tops of the broccoli work best, but some stems are fine too), chopped
  • 1/4 c of freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, or to your preferences
  • avocado oil, ghee, or butter for greasing 

Directions:


  1. heat the oil in a large sauté pan (you want the eggs to be able to spread out fairly thin)
  2. add the eggs (you're making an omelette) and cook over medium heat until the bottom is done enough to flip
  3. flip the eggs to cook the other side
  4. on one half of the "egg tortilla" add the broccoli (make sure its warm already either) 
  5. top the broccoli evenly with cheddar cheese (you may need to turn down the heat slightly so that the eggs do not overcook)
  6. flip the other half of the omelette over to cover the broccoli and cheese
  7. let the cheese start to get gooey, then flip
  8. when it all looks melty and ready to eat, dig in! 
  9. I cut mine into quarters and ate like a quesadilla :)
