Make this kale and avocado omelet for a satiating, high-protein breakfast. Fiber-rich kale will keep hunger at bay for longer in this healthy omelet recipe.
Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon low-fat milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon unsalted sunflower seeds
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- ¼ avocado, sliced
Directions
- Beat eggs with milk and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook until the bottom is set and the center is still a bit runny, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the omelet over and cook until set, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate.
- Toss kale with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, lime juice, cilantro, sunflower seeds, crushed red pepper and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Top the omelet with the kale salad and avocado.
