Ingredients for this Omelet with Avocado

2 large eggs
1/2 a ripe avocado, sliced or diced
1 tablespoon of milk or water (this is optional, but it makes the eggs a little fluffier!)
1 teaspoon of butter or olive oil
A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional fillings: a sprinkle of feta cheese, some chopped chives, or a few cherry tomatoes, halved.

Instructions

Making this omelet is as easy as 1-2-3. Seriously, you’ve got this.

First things first, let’s get those eggs ready. Crack them into a small bowl, add the splash of milk (if you’re using it), salt, and pepper. Give it all a good whisk with a fork until it’s evenly yellow and a little bit frothy. Don’t overdo it, though! Just enough to combine everything.
Next, grab a non-stick skillet and place it over medium heat. Let it get nice and warm, then add your butter or oil. Swirl it around so it coats the bottom of the pan.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them cook for about a minute, or until the edges start to set. As it cooks, gently pull the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula and tilt the pan so the runny egg fills in the gaps. This little trick makes for a perfectly cooked omelet.
When the omelet is mostly set but still a little soft on top, it’s time for the star of the show! Arrange your avocado slices over one half of the omelet. If you’re adding cheese or any other goodies, now’s the time to sprinkle them on.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the avocado-filled side. Let it cook for another 30 seconds or so, just to warm everything through. Then, gently slide it onto your plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep the avocado from turning brown?

The best way is to slice your avocado right before you add it to the omelet. If you do need to cut it a few minutes ahead, just toss the slices with a tiny squeeze of lime or lemon juice. The acid helps prevent that pesky browning.

Can you put raw avocado in an omelet?

That’s how this recipe is designed. You add the raw avocado slices right at the end of cooking. The heat from the eggs warms them up just enough without making them mushy. It gives you that perfect, creamy texture.

What goes well with an avocado omelet?

Oh, the possibilities! I love serving it with a side of fresh salsa or a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a little kick. It’s also fantastic with a piece of whole-wheat toast or a small side salad if you’re having it for lunch. Honestly, it’s pretty perfect all on its own, too.
