Born Fitness Recipes: Jalapeño and Goat Cheese Omelet

Ingredients

• 1 jalapeño pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 4 cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 avocado
• 2-4 oz. smoked salmon (optional)

Directions

1. Set a boiler to medium-high heat and char the jalapeno, turning it frequently, until it’s blackened and slightly collapsed. Cut out the seeds and slice the pepper into thin strips. (If you really want it spicy, you can keep the seeds in.)
2. Turn the boiler to medium heat and allow the butter to coat the pan.
3. As the butter melts, slice the onions. Then add the onion sliced jalapenos to the base of the pan or skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions start to become soft. Then remove the mixture and let it cool slightly.
4. Beat the eggs and then add to the skillet and heat over medium-low heat.
5. On a separate burner, char the 4 cherry tomatoes on medium-high heat, moving them every 1-2 minutes.
6. As the eggs begin to set around the edges, lift them up with the tip of the spatula and let the egg flow. [If desired, add the smoked salmon now.] Repeat the edge-lifting process until you can’t do so easily any longer. Finally flip the eggs so it’s folded in half, omelet-style. Let it cook for another minute until a light gold brown appears.
7. Plate your omelet, top with the salt and pepper.
8. As the omelet cools, slice up 1/4 of an avocado into small pieces and remove the tomatoes from the burner and slice in half.
9. Add the goat cheese, tomatoes, and avocado over the top. Enjoy.
