instructions
    1

    Begin by washing the broccoli thoroughly and cutting it into small florets. You can also chop the stems if you like.

    2

    Boil water in a pot and blanch the broccoli florets for about 3 minutes until bright green. Then, drain and set aside.

    3

    In a bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper lemon to taste.

    4

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs and tilt the skillet to spread them evenly.

    5

    Cook the eggs for about 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

    6

    Quickly add the blanched broccoli and dollops of cream cheese on one half of the omelette.

    7

    Carefully fold the other half over the filling, then cook for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese begins to melt.

    8

    Slide the omelette onto a plate, slice it in half if desired, and serve warm.
