Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (to taste)
Filling
- ½ avocado (sliced or mashed)
- ¼ cup fresh baby spinach
- ¼ cup reduced fat shredded cheese
Cooking
- Avocado cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk, a pinch of salt, and everything but the bagel seasoning to taste until fully combined.
- Heat the pan and add eggs: Grease an 8-inch non-stick pan with avocado cooking spray and heat it over low to medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, then evenly distribute the fresh baby spinach leaves and shredded cheese over the top. Allow the eggs to cook through on the bottom for about 2 minutes without stirring.
- Add avocado and fold omelette: Place the sliced or mashed avocado on top of the partially cooked eggs. Using a rubber or regular spatula, carefully fold one side of the omelette over the other, holding it down for a few seconds to help it form.
- Cook through: Let the folded omelette cook for about 2 minutes, then carefully flip it over to cook the other side. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until the eggs are solid to the touch and no longer wet inside. If needed, cover the pan with a lid to trap heat and ensure thorough cooking. Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious omelette!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of everything but the bagel seasoning based on your taste preference.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelette from sticking and make flipping easier.
- Covering the pan towards the end of cooking helps ensure the center is fully cooked without overcooking the exterior.
- Substitute almond milk with another milk alternative or regular milk if preferred.
- To increase protein content, you can add cooked lean meats like turkey slices or chicken breast.
