Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame seeds black or white

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
Add sesame seeds to the hot dry pan, and toast for a few minutes until they are starting to turn brown and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the oils in the pan for a a minute, then add the eggs. Wait a minute while the bottom of the omelet browns ever so slightly, swirl the pan, then using a spatula fold the omelet in half, wait a moment, then slide it out of the pan onto a cutting board.
Now add the broccoli florets and chunks to the oil that remains in the pan, and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes.
Sauté, stirring every minute or so until the raw edge is just barely gone. I like to cover the broccoli with a lid so it steams lightly as it cooks.
Slice the omelet into very thin ribbons and add back into the pan. Toss everything together, and season with salt and pepper.
Slide into a serving dish and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over top. Serve while still very warm.
