3 slices lean bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled
1/2 small avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1. For salsa: In small bowl, combine tomato, green onions,
jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice and mix well. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. In medium bowl, whisk eggs
with water and season with salt and pepper. Melt half
the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat and, when foam subsides, add half the egg
mixture. Tilt pan to coat bottom and cook 1 minute, until
almost set. Sprinkle half the omelet with half the bacon,
avocado and cheese and cook 1 minute. Fold empty
half of omelet over filling and slide omelet onto a plate.
Keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture,
bacon, avocado and cheese. Serve with salsa.
These omelets are great for brunch or a light lunch. You can
double the salsa recipe and keep on hand to top burgers or
broiled chicken breasts.
