Prepare broccoli by cutting it into florets, leaving some stem for sweetness.

Boil about 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and add the broccoli florets. Boil for about 10 minutes until tender.

While the broccoli is boiling, mince the sweet onion.

Crack 4 eggs into a mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs. Whisk until combined.

Once the broccoli is tender, drain the water and set the broccoli aside.

In the same saucepan, add 2 teaspoons of butter and sauté the minced onion for about 2 minutes until translucent.

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of butter, ensuring the pan is coated.

Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan and watch for the edges to turn yellow or white, indicating a solid base is forming.

Once the base is formed, add the broccoli and onion mixture to one half of the omelet.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the other half of the omelet.

Carefully fold the omelet in half and let it cook for a minute or two until the cheese melts.

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
