Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well blended.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
Tips
- For added spice, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
