This omelet comes together in less than three minutes (including prep and cooking!). While the following recipe calls for broccoli, you can add any cooked vegetables you like to this omelet. Try onion, red pepper, mushrooms, or tomatoes (or a mix!). Steaming is the best option for cooking the veggies, but if you’re short on time, using flash-frozen and microwaving is fine as well.
