How to Make Broccoli, Spinach and Sweet Pea Omelette

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and black pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup of the cheese.
Step 2

In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3

Add the broccoli and water to the skillet and cover. Cook until the broccoli is bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cover and add the spinach and sweet peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Add the basil and parsley.
Step 4

Arrange the vegetable mixture in an even layer across the skillet. Whisk the egg mixture and pour it over the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the eggs. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the center is set, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 5

Remove from the oven and let the omelette rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and the scallions, if using.
