Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Eggs (4, large)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Tomato (1 medium, diced)
  • Avocado (1 medium, sliced)
  • Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup, shredded)
  • Fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons, chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well blended.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
  4. Gently place the sliced avocado and diced tomatoes on one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro generously over the filling.
  5. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, pressing down slightly to secure it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
  6. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
