Avocado Filled Omelet
Me: Who wants omelet for breakfast?
Kiddo: Me!
Me: You sure?
Kiddo: Yes!
Me: What is an omelet?
Kiddo: I don't know.
My bad. I laughed so hard that he asked, "Mama, why are you laughing?"
HAHAHAHA.
Okay, okay.
So this week, IHCC members are cooking Mexican food with Rick Bayless' recipes!
I found his avocado omelet recipe very interesting and decided to give it a try! I didn't have chorizo, so I added more vegetables (assorted diced bell peppers).

| Ready for breakfast. |
Ingredients:
(Serves 2)
4 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup mixed bell pepper (red, green, yellow), finely diced
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
How to:
1. In a bowl, beat eggs and water together. Stir in diced bell peppers and season with and salt and pepper.
2. Scoop and mash avocado flesh in another bowl. Add lemon juice and honey. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat up oil over medium heat in a flat non-stick frying pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Quickly spread out the bell peppers so that they don’t clump together. Cook over medium-low heat, undisturbed, for about 8 minutes or until the middle is set.
4. Turn out onto plates, spread with mashed avocado, roll up the omelet, and serve.

Hahahaha!
DeleteHi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteMy big kids love omelette but they don't fancy avocado. Wish I could join you for this healthy colourful omelette :)
My kid doesn't like avocado because it's green. Hah! But at least he ate almost 1/3 of this omelet. :P
DeleteLove the sound of this omelet. I think I would omit the chorizo, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda hard to find chorizo in Malaysia.
DeleteI would like an omelet any time of the day. Colorful!
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteI love all of the color and how pretty on the plate this omelet is--and all of the veggies you have stuffed in there! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb!
DeleteJoyce, I also like your colourful omelette. Good choice to eat it with more colours rather than chorizo though I'm sure Rick would probably beg to differ :P I'm sure your little man love it too :)
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! The little man ate the omelet but he said no to green avocado, basically anything green. Haha.
DeleteYum! I've never thought to add avocado to an omelet before, but now that I see your pictures I'm thinking it is a fantastic idea! Love how pretty and colorful it looks and I'm sure it tasted delicious. Curious if your little one liked it?
ReplyDeleteThe little one likes the omelet. As for the avocado, because it's green, he didn't want to take the second spoon. Lol.
