One of the avocados that I bought yesterday was feeling just about ripe this morning, so I decided to take a different twist on this otherwise pretty standard low carb cheese omelette for breakfast. Sometimes you just want something different, and the addition of avocado was just what the doctor ordered! Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6. Not to mention, antioxidants such as lycopene and beta-carotene are better absorbed with the healthy monounsaturated fat avocados have in abundance.
Ingredients
- 1 jumbo egg (the yolk helps everything hold together better, unlike a pure egg white omelette)
- 2 egg whites (I like to use All Whites 100% Liquid Egg Whites)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Smart Balance Original Buttery Spread
- 1/4 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 1/2 avocado, diced
Instructions
- In a mug, beat 1 jumbo egg with 2 egg whites. Add black pepper and stir.
- Melt butter in a frying pan, add egg mixture, when ready, flip and cook the other side.
- Flip back to original position, add colby jack cheese to half of the omelette, and fold over.
- Transfer to plate, top with diced avocado.
