Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best taste and texture.

- Make sure the avocado is ripe but firm to avoid a mushy texture in the omelet.

- Chop the smoked salmon and basil finely to ensure even distribution in the omelet.

- Whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly to incorporate air, which will make the omelet fluffier.

- Cook the omelet on low to medium heat to avoid burning and ensure it cooks evenly.

- Use a non-stick pan for easier flipping and to prevent the omelet from sticking.
