Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1/4 yellow onion, diced
- 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, diced (packed in oil)
- 1/2 avocado, diced
Egg Mixture
- 3 eggs
- 1/8 cup milk or cream (dairy-free alternative optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Cheese
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat an 8-inch pan over medium heat and add the sun-dried tomatoes along with the diced yellow onions. Sauté them until fragrant and softened. Because sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, extra butter or oil is optional. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure a fluffy texture.
- Cook Eggs: Reduce the pan heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir initially while pushing the edges toward the center with a rubber spatula to evenly cook the eggs.
- Set Omelette Base: After about a minute, stop stirring and let the eggs cook undisturbed until mostly set but still slightly runny on top. Covering the pan can speed this up, but be careful not to overcook.
- Add Toppings: On one half of the omelette, arrange the sautéed onions and sun-dried tomatoes. Then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and diced avocado on top of the veggies.
- Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges if sticking occurs. Slide the folded omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add both flavor and moisture, so additional oil in the pan is optional.
- Covering the pan during cooking helps speed up setting the eggs but watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- If eggs stick to the pan, gently loosen edges with a spatula and slowly work around the omelette until it frees easily.
- Dairy-free milk or cream can be used to suit dietary preferences without compromising texture.
