Learn how to make this fluffy avocado omelette with spinach and cheese! A quick and easy nutritious breakfast that everyone will love.
First of all, avocado is one of my favorite things to eat and it's super healthy for you. It's considered a healthy fat, which is one of the best ways to fill yourself up. Second, I absolutely love eggs! And so I'm a huge fan of combining the two.
If you've never had it before, an omelette is made from whisked eggs that are fluffed with a little milk. The eggs are cooked in a greased pan and then folded with ingredients such as cheese, leafy greens, veggies, or even meat!
This specific recipe is made with vitamin-rich spinach, cheese for flavor, and avocado! It's simple, but super filling & delicious, and such a nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients - What You Need
Below you'll find the full list of ingredients you'll need to make this recipe!
- Eggs: I recommend using three for a full omelette. You can use the egg whites or the whole egg with the yolk!
- Avocado: use half an avocado, you can either mash it or slice it when placing it in the omelette.
- Spinach: for some greens! No need to cook the spinach. The leaves will slightly wilt and cook while in with the eggs.
- Cheese: whatever cheese you like with your eggs! Some of my favorites are cheddar or an Italian blend.
- Milk: this helps to fluff the eggs! I used almond milk but you can use regular milk too.
- Everything bagel seasoning: a blend of onion and garlic seasoning that will add lots of flavor to the eggs.
How to Make an Avocado Omelette - Step by Step Photos
(1) In a medium-sized bowl, add the eggs, milk, and everything seasoning together with a tiny pinch of salt.
(2) Use a whisk or a fork to whip the eggs.
(3) Grease a non-stick pan, heat on low to medium heat, then add the whisked eggs, spinach leaves, and cheese over top. Let the eggs cook through on the bottom (about 2 minutes).
(4) Add the avocado on top, then use a rubber spatula or regular spatula to flip the one side over. Hold the spatula there for a few seconds to help the omelette form. Let cook for 2 minutes.
(5) Then carefully flip the omelette and let it cook for another 2 minutes, or until the eggs are solid to touch and the inside is no longer wet (you can check with a fork). Cover with a lid if needed to trap the heat so the inside thoroughly cooks. Serve and enjoy!
Extra Recipe Tips
What to serve on the side - add even more flavor by topping your omelette with fresh basil or cilantro, and serving it with a dressing like salsa or ketchup! You can also serve it alongside some whole-grain toast and fresh fruit.
Use a non-stick pan - for omelettes you will need to use a pan that has a non-stick surface. They are not only the best surface for eggs but it's the perfect size you'll need to make a proper omelette.
