Forget boring breakfasts! We’re elevating the classic omelet into a true protein powerhouse that will keep you fueled and satisfied all morning long. Imagine fluffy eggs enveloping savory chopped chicken, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and juicy tomato. This isn’t just a meal; it’s the ultimate way to kickstart your day with incredible flavor and energy.
Ingredients
• 2 large eggs
• 2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 oz / 28g deli-style chicken, chopped
• ¼ medium avocado, sliced or diced
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1 tbsp / 15ml mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp / 15ml Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp / 5ml butter or oil for the pan
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until light and frothy.
3. Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
4. Gently push the cooked edges toward the center and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
5. On one half of the omelet, layer the chopped chicken, crispy bacon, diced tomato, and sliced avocado.
6. In a separate small bowl, stir the mayonnaise and mustard together to create a creamy sauce. Drizzle this sauce over the fillings.
7. Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the omelet is heated through. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.

Pro Tips
• Use a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Too high, and the eggs will brown and toughen before the inside is cooked.
• Have all your fillings cooked and chopped before you start the eggs. The omelet cooks in just a few minutes.
• Resist the urge to overstuff your omelet. Too many fillings will make it difficult to fold neatly and can cause it to break.
