Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
- Evenly sprinkle the diced tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped basil over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to fully cook through.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and cut it into wedges.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil if desired, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
