Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 medium Tomato
- 4 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Dice the tomato into small, bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the basil leaves.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.
Step 5
Cook the eggs undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the top is still slightly runny.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the diced tomato, sliced basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelet.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Press lightly to seal.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through to your desired doneness.
Step 9
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
