Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Set aside.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice each one in half. Dice the onion finely. Mince the garlic. Chop the basil leaves into small pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Season the vegetables with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Lower the heat slightly and pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the skillet gently to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the pan.
Let the omelette cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the edges start to pull away from the skillet.
Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the omelette. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the omelette to set completely while maintaining a tender texture.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with extra basil if desired, and serve immediately.
