Servings: 2

Ingredients

Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons, grated
Olive oil
1 tablespoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Fresh basil
4-5 leaves, finely chopped
Tomatoes
2 medium, diced
Eggs
4, large

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they're slightly softened and their juices begin to release.
  4. Gently pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the tomatoes, ensuring an even distribution. Allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for approximately 1 minute, or until the edges start to set.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the finely chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese over one half of the omelette.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  7. Continue to cook the omelette for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it's fully cooked through and the cheese has melted.
  8. Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your slice of Italy!
