Ingredients
For the Broccoli & Cheese Omelet:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffiness)
- ½ cup broccoli florets, chopped
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil
For the Garlic Roasted Potatoes:
- 1½ cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. Garnish with fresh parsley.
2️⃣ Make the Omelet
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Heat butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Sauté chopped broccoli for 1–2 minutes until slightly tender.
Pour in the egg mixture and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges are set.
Sprinkle with cheddar and feta, fold the omelet in half, and cook for 1 more minute until cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
3️⃣ Serve
Plate the omelet alongside the roasted potatoes. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you want a bit of heat. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips for Breakfast Success
✔️ Cut your potatoes small so they crisp up quickly and evenly.
✔️ Steam or microwave broccoli for 30 seconds before sautéing if you like it extra tender.
✔️ Use a non-stick pan and low-medium heat to avoid burning the eggs.
✔️ Want more protein? Add cooked turkey sausage or bacon to the omelet filling.
