Creamy Avocado Cheese Omelette (Printable)
A creamy omelette packed with avocado, tomato, and melted cheese for a quick, 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 Make It:
01 - Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Melt butter or heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
03 - Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
04 - Sprinkle 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. Using a spatula, gently fold the other half over the filling.
06 - Cook for 1 more 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.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The avocado stays creamy instead of turning mushy because it only warms through at the very end.
- It reheats surprisingly well the next day if you fold it into a tortilla and call it a breakfast burrito.
02 -
- If you cook the avocado it will turn bitter and weirdly slick, so always add it last and fold quickly.
- Covering the pan while the cheese melts is the difference between a perfectly gooey center and a burnt bottom.
03 -
- Take the eggs off the heat about thirty seconds before you think they are done because they keep cooking from residual heat.
- Shred your own cheese instead of using pre shredded bags, since the anti caking powder on store bought cheese makes it melt unevenly.
