Quick Herb and Avocado Omelet

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 2 large omega-3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons filtered water
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or cilantro leaves
• 1 scallion, thinly chopped
• Pinch sea salt
• Pinch ground black pepper
• 1/4 of an avocado, pitted and sliced
• 1/2 small tomato, thinly sliced

Method

Step 1

Place an 8- to 9-inch ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium low heat and add the butter. While the butter is melting, whisk the eggs, water and herbs together. Add the salt and pepper and whisk.

Step 2

When the butter is melted and the pan is hot, pour in the eggs and allow them to sit undisturbed until the bottom has set, about 1 to 2 minutes. With a flexible, flat spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and allow the liquid eggs to flow underneath. For a loose omelet with a creamy center, allow eggs to cook another minute until set but creamy, and then add three slices of tomato and the avocado in the center. Fold edges of omelet into the middle and serve.

Step 3

For a firmer omelet, preheat your oven broiler to high and move the top rack to one below the top level. Place the pan under the broiler for 15 to 30 seconds to set still creamy eggs, then remove from the oven, add the tomatoes and avocado, fold and serve.
