🛒 Ingredients
For the Omelette (1 serving):
-
3 large eggs (approx. 150 g)
-
1 pinch salt (about 1 g)
-
1 pinch black pepper (to taste)
-
1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced (about 100 g)
-
50 g mozzarella or parmesan cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
-
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (15 ml)
-
Dried basil and oregano (to taste)
Optional Add-ins:
-
A splash of milk or cream (for extra fluffiness)
-
Chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach
-
Fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish
🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. (For a fluffier omelette, mix in a tablespoon of milk or cream.)
2. Slice the Tomato
Cut the tomato into thin, even slices — this ensures they cook quickly and evenly in the pan.
3. Sauté the Tomatoes
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato slices and sauté for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant.
4. Add Eggs and Cheese
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top, and optionally, dust with a bit of basil and oregano.
5. Cover and Cook
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3–5 minutes on low-medium heat, or until the eggs are just set and the cheese has melted. The bottom should be lightly golden and crispy, while the inside stays tender and cheesy.
6. Serve Warm
Slide the omelette gently onto a plate, fold if desired, garnish with herbs, and enjoy immediately!
💡 Pro Tips
✨ Add Creaminess: Mix in a splash of milk or cream when beating the eggs for a fluffier texture.
🔥 Don’t Overcook: Cook on medium-low heat to avoid browning the eggs too much — you want a golden crust, not a burnt one.
🧀 Cheese Swap: Try cheddar, gouda, or even feta for a twist on flavor.
🥗 Make it a Meal: Pair with avocado toast or a side salad for a balanced breakfast or brunch.
