Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 6 whole cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size, and set them aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, reserving a small portion for garnishing, if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften. Remove the tomatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly across the pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the parsley, chives, and sautéed cherry tomatoes evenly over one half of the omelette. Add grated cheese at this stage if you're using it.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and press down lightly to seal.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is cooked through but still soft and fluffy inside.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with reserved herbs, and serve immediately.
