Bacon, Avocado and Cheese Omelet

Ingredients

  • cups finely chopped tomatoes, seeded
  • /2 cup finely chopped onion
  • jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper
  • tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • large eggs
  • tablespoons water
  • tablespoons butter or ghee, divided
  • slices sugar-free bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • small avocados, peeled and diced
  • /2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by combining the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then set the salsa aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with water and a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy. Melt half a tablespoon of butter in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in one-sixth of the egg mixture, tilting the pan to coat it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about a minute until the edges are set. Sprinkle one-sixth of the bacon, avocado, and cheese over half of the omelet. Continue cooking for another minute until the cheese begins to melt. Gently fold the omelet over the filling, slide it onto a plate, and keep warm. I like to use a lid to hold in the heat while I repeat the process with the remaining butter, egg mixture, and fillings. Serve each omelet with a generous spoonful of the salsa.

Chef's Tip

For a fluffier omelet, let the beaten egg mixture sit for 5 minutes before cooking—the proteins relax, resulting in a tender texture. I also pat the salsa ingredients dry after chopping to prevent a watery topping.

Storage Tips

Keep leftover salsa and omelets separate in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the omelets in a covered skillet over low heat to keep them moist.

Variation Tips

Swap the bacon for sugar-free smoked salmon or diced cooked chicken. Serve with a side of sautéed spinach or extra avocado slices for more healthy fats.
