100% would make this recipe for Broccoli-Cheese Omelet again.

A tasty, yet light, way to start the day. There's enough substance and flavor that you don't realize it's the "light" version.

Broccoli-Cheese Omelet Ingredients

1 cup Broccoli - flowers2 ounces Low Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Cabbage - shredded (optional)1/4 cup Salsa - as hot as you like
1 cup Broccoli Cole Slaw (or shred the broccoli stems )1/2 cup Tomato - rough chopped
1 cup Egg Substitute (or 3 egg whites w/ 1 whole egg)1/4 cup Cilantro - rough chopped

Instructions for Broccoli-Cheese Omelet

If you're working with whole broccoli separate the flowers from the stems. Peel the thicker portion of the stem and shred the tender insides finely. I buy bags of flowers and shredded "Broccoli Slaw" to save a lot of time. The slaw also has cabbage and carrot shreds in it.

Steam the Broccoli Flowers for about 3 minutes then add the Broccoli slaw and shredded cabbage. Then steam another 1 minute. You don't want it completely cooked, just softened. Chop the flowers up into small chunks. Remove from heat and set aside.

In an omelet pan place 1/4 cup amounts of egg and cook until done (but not hard). repeat until you hace 4 egg "patties". Set 1 egg pattie on each plate and top with a slice of cheese and about 1/2 cup of the broccoli mixture. Add a second egg pattie and some more broccoli. Top with chopped tomato and a dollop of salsa. Garnish with some cilantro.

Serve immediately accompanied by multi-grain toast or other healthy bread.
