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
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Slice the grape tomatoes in half and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Sprinkle the halved tomatoes and chopped basil evenly over one half of the omelet in the skillet.
Step 6
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato and basil layer.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
