- Add diced sweet potato and gold potato, stir and cook another 1-2 minutes, then add the zucchini, kale, and all seasonings, and cook another 5 minutes or until all veggies are tender. Stir occasionally throughout cooking time.
- While the veggies cook, add two eggs to a small bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired, then whisk. Heat a small round skillet over medium heat, spray with nonstick cooking spray and add two whisked eggs to pan. Cook 2-3 minute until the bottom side is cooked, then flip.
- Spread half of the avocado mixture on 1/2 of the round omelet while still in the pan. Add half of veggie mixture, along with any dairy/protein add ins you’d like, then flip top half off the omelet so it covers the veggies, see photos, and cook another minute or two. Remove from pan.
