11 minThis is the kind of omelet that turns a lazy Saturday morning into an event.
Crispy crumbled bacon, buttery avocado chunks, and melted Monterey Jack get folded inside a just-set egg, then the whole thing gets crowned with a bright, punchy salsa of fresh tomato, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro.
It’s restaurant-quality brunch made at home in about 10 minutes with zero fuss.
Pro Tips
- Have all your filling ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking. Omelets move fast and there’s no time to chop once the eggs hit the pan.
- Use a non-stick skillet and moderately high heat. The eggs should set in about a minute for that soft, custardy texture.
- Cut the avocado into generous half-inch pieces so it stays creamy inside the hot omelet without turning to mush.
- Make the salsa first and let it sit while you cook. Even 10 minutes lets the flavors meld together.
Ingredients
Directions
In a small bowl stir together the tomato, the onion, the jalapeno, the coriander, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste until the salsa is combined well. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the water, and salt and pepper to taste.
In an 8-inch skillet, preferably non-stick, heat ½ teaspoon of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, pour in half the egg mixture, tilting the skillet to spread the egg mixture evenly over the bottom, and cook it for 1 minute, or until it is almost set. Sprinkle half the omelet with half the bacon, half the avocado, peeled and cut into ½ inch pieces, and half the Monterey Jack and cook the Omelet for 1 minute, or until it is set.
Fold the omelet over the filling, transfer it to a plate, and keep it warm. Make another omelet in the same manner with the remaining butter, egg mixture, bacon, avocado, and Monterey Jack and serve the omelets with the salsa over. Serves 2. (or 3 if you have enough other things in the breakfast.) David Oesterreich Indianapolis, IN
