Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy and well beaten. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette. Tilt the skillet to allow any uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the omelette is mostly set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half and allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
- You can substitute the goat cheese with feta or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add other ingredients such as sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
