Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 small shallot
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Finely dice the shallot and garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh basil and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Sprinkle the thyme over the tomatoes, then reduce the heat to low.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the chopped basil and crumbled goat cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut it in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Omelet Provençal!
