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.
