Avocado Bacon Omelet


A healthy omelet that is quick and easy for any morning. Tasty and only takes 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:
2 Eggs
1 tbsp milk/cream/etc
Herbs if desired
1/2 diced avocado
1 tbsp crumbled bacon (I used the stuff in the jar)
1/4 c Parmesan or mixed hard Italian cheeses
1/4 - 1/2 c vegetables if desired or on hand

Servings: One good healthy breakfast

Instructions:
Scramble the eggs with the milk, and herbs if your using them, as much as you like. Want a fluffy omelet, scramble the heck out of it. Want a dense omelet, scramble less. Pour the egg into a ~8 inch pan coated with cooking spray. Let cook a minute or two and then sprinkle the bacon, cheese and avocados on half of the omelet. Add the extra veggies if your using them.

When the bottom is cooked flip half the omelet over the other half, let cook. Then flip the whole thing and let the other half cook through to make sure all egg is cooked and cheese is melted.

Eat hot and steaming!

Nutritional Information: 450 calories, 23g of Protein and while it does have 33g of fat, it is healthy fat, it pretty much all comes from the avocado.

Recipe From: Made it up, used it a few times just decided to write it down and look at the overall nutritional values

I have made these numerous times, just thought I would take the time to write it down and talk about nutritional content. Super easy, tasty and healthy.

You can really use any cheese you want, if you want to make this in a California fashion use Monterrey Jack. But I wanted to cut calories and hard Italian cheeses have fewer than most soft cheeses. I keep some grated in the fridge at all times, toss it on all sorts of things and no salt needed because the cheese has plenty.

You can add extra vegetables if you have them on hand, but I don't like most vegetables in my eggs but green and red peppers would add some crunch if your so inclined. Use herbs as you see fit, basil goes well, so does garlic and Italian herbs.
