Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 medium Tomato
- 4 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Dice the tomato into small, bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the basil leaves.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.
Cook the eggs undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the top is still slightly runny.
Evenly sprinkle the diced tomato, sliced basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through to your desired doneness.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
