Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk optional
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella torn or diced
  • 3-4 fresh basil leaves torn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk (if using), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly.
  • Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
  • When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil over one half of the omelette.
  • Fold the omelette in half and cook for another minute to melt the cheese.
  • Slide the omelette onto a plate, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired, and serve warm.
  • Enjoy! 😊
