Habanero, Feta Cheese and Basil Garden Omelet

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 habanero peppers, minced
• 3 fresh large eggs, beaten
• 4-6 large fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Sliced avocado for topping

Cooking Directions

• Heat a frying pan to medium heat and add oil.
• Add beaten eggs and spread evenly across the pan to allow even cooking.
• Spread habanero peppers, basil, and feta cheese over the center and cook about 1 minute, or until eggs begin to harden.
• Fold eggs in half over the fillings, then fold in half again, forming a small egg pocket.
• Cook another 1-2 minutes, allowing egg to cook thoroughly and cheese to melt within. Do not overcook or burn.
