Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is light and foamy.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces if they are large.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until they soften slightly. Remove the tomatoes and set them aside.

Step 5

Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the surface.

Step 6

As the edges of the egg start to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the cooked cherry tomatoes, torn basil leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese over one half of the omelette.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to melt the cheese and warm the filling.

Step 9

Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
