Broccoli Cheddar Omelet

Courtesy Diabetes Care Club

IngredientsNumber of servings: Serves 2

• 1 individual serving package broccoli with cheese sauce (1/2 cup), microwaved according to directions
• 6 egg whites or 1 cup egg substitute
• 1/4 teaspoon dill weed (dried)
• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons heart-healthy butter-flavored spread or margarine
• 2 slices 1% or 2% cheddar or American cheese

How to make it 



• 1

  Strain most of the sauce from the broccoli into a medium bowl. To the sauce, add the egg whites, dill weed, salt and pepper, and beat until combined.


• 2

  Return the broccoli to the plastic container and stir in the Worcestershire sauce.


• 3

  Melt the butter spread in a 10-inch nonstick skillet to coat the bottom. When hot, add the egg mixture. Cook over medium-high heat, lifting the edges with a spatula while tilting the skillet to let the uncooked portion flow underneath. When the top is only slightly runny, slide the omelet onto a dinner plate, then return it to the skillet, flipping it over to cook the top.


• 4

  Lay the slices of cheese in the center on the top of the omelet and top with broccoli. Fold the omelet in half over the filling. Slide onto a plate, and cut in two.
