Healthy & Hearty Cheddar Omelette
Okay, sometimes I really just need a plump Sunday breakfast. Well, almost every Sunday I feel this way. Again, my philosophy is to use whatever is in my fridge. I wanted something pretty healthy yet hardy and something my husband would eat as well (this can be a challenge). We had a tomato, cheddar, white beans, basil, and broccoli. Sold! 15 minutes later breakfast was served with some additional sides, not to mention a delicious bellini (prosecco and peach puree) to help wash down the delectable omelette delight. What a way to start my Sunday. In my opinion, the only way one should begin their Sunday. Now go cook your way into a relaxing end of your weekend!

Prep Time

Cook Time
10 min
Total Time
15 min
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- Small handful of basil - chopped
- 1/4 C cheddar cheese - diced
- Approx. 10 broccoli florets - diced
- 1 small tomato
- 1/2 15 oz can of white beans
- Shallot - diced
- Pinch of red pepper flake
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Olive oil for pan
Optional sides
- 6 strawberries
- 2 english muffins
- 4 hashbrowns
Instructions
- Heat pan on low with olive oil. Add shallot and cook for about 3 minutes
- Add broccoli, white bean, tomato, salt & pepper, red pepper flake. Cook for 3-5 minutes
- Remove from pan, keep heat on, and re-oil
- Crack 2 eggs and lightly scramble. Add cheddar, pinch more salt & pepper, basil, and all other ingredients you've just cooked
- When bottom becomes lightly browned, fold omelette in half and briefly cook on both sides until egg center is fully cooked
- Do the same again for the other omelette. If you can do two pans at once or have a griddle I recommend doing this. Both omelettes will be perfectly hot and ready to eat together.
- Add side dishes and garnish with whole leaves of basil (optional)
Notes
- When I have brie cheese in the fridge I sometimes replace the cheddar. I love brie and basil together!
