Ingredients
1 teaspoon avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons kimchi, chopped
1 medium tomato, sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
Directions
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet or omelette pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Pour the beaten eggs into the center of the hot pan and let them set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg toward the center while tilting the pan, allowing any uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat until the top is just barely set but still slightly moist, about 1–2 minutes total.
Scatter the chopped kimchi over one half of the omelette and drizzle with the sesame oil.
Fold the omelette in half over the kimchi, cooking for another 10–15 seconds to ensure the egg is fully set to an internal temperature of 160F.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and immediately top with tomato slices and avocado slices.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top, then season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
Comments
Kimchi is a reliable find at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart, but quality varies widely and premium brands mean a second stop at an Asian market if you want something better than the supermarket shelf version. The omelette itself is honest at ten minutes and feeds one person well for breakfast or lunch, though the avocado and tomato push the cost toward six to seven dollars per serving depending on season. This is a same-night dish that does not reheat gracefully; the egg toughens and the avocado oxidizes. It suits a quick solo meal or someone comfortable cooking to order, not a batch strategy for the week.
