Creamy Avocado Cheese Omelette (Printable)
A creamy omelette with avocado, tomato, and melted cheese for a satisfying breakfast.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Eggs
01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables & Cheese
04 - 1 ripe avocado, diced
05 - 1 medium tomato, diced
06 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
07 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
→ Other
08 - 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
# How to Prepare:
01 - Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, tilting to coat the surface evenly.
03 - Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
04 - Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the eggs, followed by the diced tomato. Cover the skillet and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
05 - Scatter the diced avocado (and chives or green onions, if using) over one half of the omelette.
06 - Using a spatula, gently fold the uncovered half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for 1 additional minute, allowing the cheese to finish melting and the avocado to warm through.
07 - Slide the omelette onto a plate, slice in half, and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The combination of cool avocado and warm melted cheese creates a contrast that will make you close your eyes at the first bite.
- It comes together in under twenty minutes, which means you can have a restaurant quality brunch without leaving your kitchen slippers behind.
02 -
- Adding avocado too early will turn it mushy and brown, so always place it on right before folding.
- A lid on the pan is the real secret here because trapped steam melts the cheese without overcooking the bottom of the eggs.
03 -
- Use a non stick skillet that is at least ten inches wide so the omelette cooks evenly and has room for all the filling.
- Let your eggs come to room temperature for about ten minutes before whisking because cold eggs cook unevenly and take longer to set.
