Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 34 cherry tomatoes (halved and lightly salted)
Dairy and Fats:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) grated cheese
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) chopped herbs (basil, parsley, etc.)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs thoroughly with salt until fully blended and slightly frothy, creating a smooth mixture.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low temperature, allowing butter to melt and coat the entire surface evenly.
- Gently pour whisked eggs into the pan, ensuring uniform distribution across the cooking surface.
- As eggs begin to set, use a spatula to softly pull edges toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When eggs are partially set but still slightly wet on top, strategically place cheese, chopped herbs, and diced tomatoes along the center of the omelette.
- Carefully fold one side of the omelette over the filling, creating a half-moon shape with ingredients nestled inside.
- Continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds, allowing cheese to melt and eggs to fully set without browning.
- Smoothly slide the completed omelette onto a warm plate, ensuring a clean transfer from pan to serving dish.
- Serve immediately while hot, maintaining the omelette’s delicate texture and warm, melted interior.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother, fluffier texture and even cooking.
- Avoid overmixing eggs to prevent tough, rubbery omelette; whisk just until combined.
- Choose high-quality butter for richer flavor and better browning.
- Experiment with different cheese types like feta, goat cheese, or sharp cheddar for varied taste profiles.
- Add protein like ham, smoked salmon, or cooked chicken for a more substantial meal.
- Keep heat low and slow to prevent browning and maintain soft, creamy consistency.
- Try dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast or plant-based cheese for vegan version.
- Customize with seasonal vegetables or herbs for fresh, vibrant flavor combinations.
