Baja Omelet With Avocado Tomato Salsa Fresca Recipes

AVOCADO, SALSA, AND CILANTRO OMELET

Steps:

• Using a fork (for good control), beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming; swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
• Lightly press 6 thin slices of avocado into far side of omelet (this prevents them from sliding around), and add 1 tablespoon each chunky red salsa and chopped fresh cilantro leaves before folding. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over avocado, cilantro and salsa. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with additional chopped cilantro leaves, if desired, and serve.

BACON, AVOCADO, AND CHEESE OMELETS WITH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the tomato, the onion, the jalapeño, the coriander, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste until the salsa is combined well. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the water, and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a 8-inch skillet, preferably non-stick, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, pour in half the egg mixture evenly over the bottom, and cook it for 1 minute, or until it is almost set. Sprinkle half the omelet with half the bacon, half the avocado, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and half the Monterey Jack and cook the omelet for 1 minute, or until it is set. Fold the omelet over the filing, transfer it to a plate, and keep it warm. Make another omelet in the same manner with the remaining butter, egg mixture, bacon, avocado, and Monterey Jack and serve the omelets with the salsa.

AVOCADO, CHEDDAR, AND TOMATO OMELET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, water, salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, pushing the egg toward the center, gently, to allow the uncooked egg to reach the skillet surface.
• Once top starts to solidify, layer 1/2 of the omelet with the cheese, avocado, and tomato. Fold other 1/2 of omelet over and slide onto serving dish.

BAJA OMELET WITH AVOCADO- TOMATO SALSA FRESCA RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. To make the salsa fresca: In a glass or ceramic bowl, gently stir together the tomatoes, avocado, green onions, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to blend the flavors. 2. To make the omelet: Arrange the broiler rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, toss together the crabmeat, bell pepper, chives, and lemon juice. Set aside. 3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until frothy. In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, warm 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add half of the egg mixture, stir briefly, and then let the eggs begin to set around the edges. Using a spatula, lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to run underneath. Cook until the eggs are almost set but still moist. 4. Spread half of the crabmeat mixture over half of the eggs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold the uncovered half of the eggs over the filling. Cut the cheese into 8 equal slices and arrange 4 slices on top. Place the pan in the broiler and cook until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds. Slide the omelet onto a warmed serving plate and keep warm. Make a second omelet with the remaining ingredients. 5 Cut each omelet in half and arrange on warmed plates. Garnish each omelet with a few slices of avocado and a cilantro sprig. Divide the salsa among 4 ramekins and serve with the omelets.
