A healthy omelette recipe made with loads of vegetables for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
MOOD MUSIC
Open-faced omelettes were a big part of my breakfast mornings as a kid. We always had plenty of eggs thanks to my great Uncle Bubba's farm. In my later years, I discovered Norma's Cafe in my beloved Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas where omelets are a specialty, so I've become a bit of a snob. As a side note, one of my favorite artists, T-Bone Walker spent a lil time in Oak Cliff honing his craft.
Spinach and Avocado Omelette Ingredients
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Avocado
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Red Onion
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese
How to make a healthy omelette (step by step)
Step 1: Saute onions and spinach in a skillet 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for another 30 seconds
Step 2: Whisk together eggs plus black pepper. Pour eggs over vegetable mixture in the pan.
Step 3: Tilt the pan to spread the egg mixture evenly.
Let eggs firm up a little and after about 10 seconds shake the pan a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides into the middle. Allow the remaining liquid to then flow into the space left at the sides of the pan.
Step 4: Remove from heat and add avocado slices on top leaving the omelet open.
Serving Suggestions
Top with shredded cheese. Cover with a lid and let stand until cheese has melted. This omelet recipe also pairs well with a blueberry smoothie.
