Avocado Arugula Omelets

Omelets filled with shallot, garlic, and arugula, topped with avocado slices and chives with fresh parsley.

This recipe for avocado arugula omelets is a fresh and flavorful breakfast option. The eggs are light and fluffy with a creamy texture from the heavy cream, while the filling of sautéed shallots, garlic, and arugula adds a slightly bitter and nutty taste. Topped with sliced avocado, fresh chives, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice, each bite bursts with bright and zesty flavors that complement the earthiness of the arugula. The dash of table salt helps balance out the flavors and ties everything together for a delicious and healthy breakfast meal.
