- The Mix: Add the sauteed broccoli to the bowl with the eggs along with 30g of low-fat grated cheese.
- Setting: Pour the mixture into the hot pan. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes on one side.
- The Flip: Flip it with the help of a plate and cook for 1 more minute so it remains juicy inside. Serve hot.
