Ingredients
Hass avocado
1/2 (Cut into quarters, chop 1/4 and fan 1/4 for garnish.)
Maple bacon
3 slices (Cooked and chopped (1 slice reserved for garnish).)
Smoked Gouda cheese
3 tablespoons (Grated.)
Jumbo eggs
3 (Brown.)
Fine sea salt
1 dash (To taste.)
White pepper
1 dash (To taste.)
Heavy cream
1 tablespoon (Used for whisking with eggs.)
Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon (For cooking.)
Black olives

Cilantro
2 tablespoons (Chopped.)

Instructions
1
Begin by preparing the avocado, cutting it into quarters. Chop one quarter for filling and fan out another quarter to use as a garnish.
2
Chop one slice of cooked maple bacon into small bits and set aside. Grate the smoked Gouda cheese.
3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, fine sea salt, white pepper, and heavy cream until fully combined and slightly frothy.
4
Heat an 8-inch omelet pan over medium heat. Once hot, melt the unsalted butter completely and evenly coat the pan.
5
Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan, allowing it to spread evenly. As the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked edges towards the center using a rubber spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the outer edges.
6
Once the eggs are mostly set (about 1-2 minutes), evenly distribute the chopped avocado, maple bacon bits, smoked Gouda cheese, sliced black olives, chopped cilantro, and chives over one half of the omelet.
7
Gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling and cook for an additional minute to ensure the cheese is melted and the filling is warm.
8
Carefully slide the omelet onto a warm serving plate, folding it in half as you do so. Garnish the plate with the reserved crispy bacon pieces, fanned avocado, sliced kiwi, and a fresh sprig of cilantro.
