Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Poblano Creamy Sauce
  • 1 roasted poblano pepper deseeded
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3/4 cup Mexican crema
  • 1/4 bunch fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin for a subtle warm, earthy flavor
  • Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Before you start, gather all your ingredients. This step makes the cooking process smoother. Chop your vegetables, dice the chicken sausage, and shred the cheese. It’s all about making life easier when you’re in the heat of cooking!
  • Grab a non-stick skillet and place it on medium heat. Add the avocado oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly. This will create a lovely base for your omelette.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Don’t rush this part; it’s key for creating a fluffy omelette. Make sure they’re mixed well with no streaks.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Gently shake the pan to spread the eggs evenly. As the edges start to set, use a spatula to lift them while tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. This ensures the omelette cooks evenly.
  • When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, it’s time to add the filling! Sprinkle in the Oaxaca cheese, chicken sausage, machaca, poblano peppers, red bell pepper, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives. Let them warm up a bit.
  • With a spatula, carefully fold one half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for another minute or two. This step is so satisfying! The cheese will start ooze out a little, and you’ll be wondering why you hadn’t made this sooner.
  • While the omelette finishes cooking, it’s time to whip up that sauce! In a blender, combine the roasted poblano pepper, garlic clove, Mexican crema, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Transfer the omelette to a plate and drizzle the creamy sauce generously on top. For a final touch, sprinkle more chopped cilantro on the omelette. This dish is now Instagram-worthy—don’t forget to snap a picture!

Notes

  • Room Temperature Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before using them for a fluffier omelette.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Filling: Leave room for the eggs to fold neatly over the filling. Less is often more!
  • Cook on Medium Heat: This helps cook the omelette evenly without burning.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the more vibrant the flavors.
  • Customize Filling: Feel free to experiment with other veggies or proteins you enjoy.
