I threw together this cheese omelet with some leftover ingredients I had laying around. It was easy to make and very delicious, so I thought I would post it. Garnish with more parsley and diced tomato.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 eggs, whisked
1 tablespoon shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon part-skim ricotta cheese
3 cherry tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add red onion and garlic; cook and stir until garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Pour eggs into the pan and distribute evenly to make a omelet. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on top. Dollop small portions of ricotta cheese onto the omelet.
Cook omelet until edges start to harden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, and basil. Add onion powder; season with salt and pepper. Cook until eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes.
Run a spatula under the omelet and lift; fold in half and transfer to a plate.
