An omelet is a morning classic made from beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, sometimes with a little milk or cream added. They love it in its pure form, adding some kind of filling to the “dough” (greens, vegetables, meat) or wrapping the additives in a ready-made omelet with an envelope. According to legend, the first classic omelette was prepared by a Viennese chef especially for the table of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The classic combination is half the volume of milk shell on one egg. And then there are ideas.

Omelet with avocado and arugula

3 eggs
olive oil
1/3 avocado
a small handful of sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
a handful of arugula

Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Whisk eggs with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon water. Pour into the pan and cook, stirring the eggs towards the center with a spatula. When the mixture begins to thicken, put the tomatoes on ½ of the omelette. Turn off the heat, add the diced avocado, arugula, cover with the second part of the omelet and serve.
