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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Dice the tomato into small, bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the basil leaves.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.

Step 5

Cook the eggs undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the top is still slightly runny.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the diced tomato, sliced basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelet.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through to your desired doneness.

Step 9

Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
