Broccolini & Pea Omelette

This is a delicious 'weekend' breakfast and one inspired by Illi Cafe in Marrickville.  When my wife and I first starting dating we'd meet at Illi often and sit for hours over food and coffee.  I haven't been back since we moved but often think about that dish and hence the re-creation.  This is a keto friendly dish and great as a breakfast or lunch option.
