Smoked salmon & avocado omelet with basil FAQ:
The ideal cooking time for the omelet is approximately 3-4 minutes total. Cook the eggs undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set, add fillings, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just set but still slightly runny.
Yes, you can substitute the 2% milk with any type of milk, including almond, soy, or oat milk. Acidic non-dairy alternatives may alter the taste slightly.
Store any leftover omelet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a microwave or a skillet until heated through before consuming.
If you don't have basil, you can substitute it with fresh parsley, chives, or dill, though the flavor will vary slightly with each herb.

Cooking 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.

- 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.
