  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup cheese
  • 1/4 cup leftover cooked veggies (my favorites are cooked squash, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini)

    • Directions

    1. In a large bowl, chop the cooked vegetables into small pieces (if I'm using squash, I mush it down with a fork so that picky eaters won't notice!).
    2. Whisk the eggs and parsley into the cooked vegetables.
    3. In a small frying pan, heat the butter. When hot add the vegetable/egg mixture and cook on one side for 4-5 minutes.
    4. Flip the omelet and place cheese on top. Cook for 2-3 more minutes.
    5. Fold omelet in half, then cut in half and serve.
