Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetables and Add-ons
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Dairy and Fats
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly. Allow to cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Lift Edges and Spread: Gently lift the edges of the omelette using a spatula, letting any uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue cooking until the top is mostly set but still slightly runny.
- Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped herbs over one half of the omelette.
- Fold and Finish Cooking: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
- For extra creaminess, mash the avocado slightly before adding it to the omelette.
- This omelette pairs wonderfully with whole-grain toast or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
