Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 grape tomatoes
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Slice the grape tomatoes in half and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure an even layer. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until they start to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the halved tomatoes and chopped basil evenly over one half of the omelet in the skillet.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato and basil layer.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled half to create a semi-circle. Gently press down the edges to seal.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
