Ingredients
- Garlic cloves
- 4, whole
- Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, halved
- Fresh basil
- 1/4 cup, chopped plus more for garnish
- Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup, shredded
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Milk
- 1/4 cup
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the garlic cloves on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 10 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before peeling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
- Sprinkle the peeled roasted garlic (sliced), halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh basil over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the filling.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
