Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
Cooking Fat
- 1/2 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Filling
- 1/2 ripe avocado (sliced or diced)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy to incorporate air and ensure a fluffy omelette.
- Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute to set the edges.
- Push Edges In: Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center while tilting the pan so the uncooked eggs flow to the edges, continuing to cook until mostly set but still slightly soft on top, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add Fillings: Spoon the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese (if using) onto one half of the omelette evenly.
- Fold Omelette: Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Finish Cooking: Cook for an additional 30–60 seconds until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully cooked but still tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado to keep its shape inside the omelette.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce before folding the omelette.
- Feta or goat cheese can be used as alternatives to shredded cheese for a different taste.
