Omelet
Who says omelets just have to be for breakfast? They make for an excellent—and tasty—lunch and dinner food, especially when paired with a leafy green salad on the side. All you need is a carton of eggs, some butter, milk, cheese (your choice of shredded or a package of Boursin), and your favorite frozen veggies—like broccoli florets, mushrooms, peas, spinach, bell peppers, and onions.
To make, cook the veggies according to packaged instructions. Whisk together two eggs in a bowl with a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream. Melt 1/2 a tablespoon of butter on a non-stick skillet over medium-low, then pour the egg mixture in. When the egg mixture is cooked around the edges (around one minute), add in your cooked veggies and your choice of cheese. Then flip the omelet in half (it’s okay if it’s slightly runny) and cook for another minute or two. Remove from the pan and enjoy!
