Ingredients

Ceviche

  • 2 pounds tilapia cubed, see note*
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes quartered
  • 1/2 English cucumber diced
  • 1/2 sweet onion minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup lime juice
  • kosher salt to taste
  • fresh black pepper to taste
  • avocado (optional) diced, for serving
  • extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Omelet

  • 4 large eggs whisked
  • 2 Tablespoons goat cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons avocado sauce

Instructions

Ceviche

  • Combine everything into a giant bowl and stir to combine.
  • Let it sit for at least 30 minutes so that the fish gets properly cooked by the acidity in the lime. It can sit for up to 1 day.
  • Eat as tacos, on top of a salad, or any other way you want.

Ceviche Omelet

  • Cook the eggs like you would for any folded omelet. If you're not sure how to do that, follow the link in the post and watch Jamie Oliver do it.
  • Put the ceviche on half of the eggs. Try to drain it as much as possible so you avoid a watery omelet. Then add the goat cheese evenly across the top.
  • Fold the omelet over and let it cook on low for a couple more minutes until the ceviche is warm.
  • Serve with more ceviche, breakfast potatoes, or fruit. Top with avocado sauce or a fruity salsa.

Notes

* You can also use another firm, white fish like whiting, cod, seabass, or mahi mahi
