Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (cooked) Macaroni
- 1 cup (small, chopped) Broccoli florets
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Parsley
Instructions
Cook macaroni according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Steam or blanch the chopped broccoli florets until slightly tender but still vibrant green. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Add the cooked macaroni and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Reduce the heat to low, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the macaroni and broccoli. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs out if needed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelet cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, or fold it in half if desired.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if using, and serve warm.
