Omelette With Tomatoes Recipe

Introduction

Begin by gathering all your ingredients. For a basic Omelette with Tomatoes, you'll need eggs, cherry tomatoes, and optional ingredients such as milk or cream, cheese, butter or oil for cooking, and your choice of herbs or fillings. This dish is forgiving and allows for plenty of personalization.

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

Crack two large eggs into a bowl, adding 15-30 ml of milk or cream if desired. Whisk the mixture until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste. The addition of milk or cream will give your omelette a fluffier texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Fillings

Halve or quarter 5-6 cherry tomatoes. If you're including cheese, grate or slice it now. Prepare any additional herbs or fillings you'd like to add, such as sautéed vegetables or cooked meats.

Step 3: Cook the Omelette

Heat 5-10 grams of butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit until the edges start to set, then spread your fillings—starting with the tomatoes—over half of the omelette. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the fillings. Cook until the eggs are set but slightly runny on top, then use a spatula to carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings. Let cook for another minute or two, until fully set but not dry.

Step 4: Serve

Slide the omelette onto a plate and, if desired, garnish with additional herbs or a sprinkle of cheese. Serve hot, accompanied by a side salad or toast for a more fulfilling meal.
