Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
1 tsp olive oil
½ cup cherry tomatoes ((the sweeter the better))
½ cup basil, fresh ((dried will work if necessary))
¼ cup favourite cheese ((think cheddar, monterey jack, mozzarella, remember to avoid rennet if you're vegetarian))
salt ((to taste))
pepper ((to taste))
2 spring onions
1 chili ((red or green))

Steps:

  • Wash the tomatoes (and spring onions or chili if you're using them) and chop into small pieces.
  • Heat half the oil in a pan and fry the tomatoes for about 2 minutes. Set aside. Clean the pan with a tissue.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well with a fork, adding the salt and pepper
  • Heat the rest of the oil in a pan (non-stick if possible) on low to medium heat. Use paper to wipe the oil around a little (or an oil spray if you have it).
  • Pour the egg mix into the pan
  • Using a spatula, ruffle the omelette so it doesn't stick. As you create gaps tilt the pan so the liquid fills the spaces.
  • Let it cook for about 2 minutes and...
  • Here's the important part: when the egg mixture looks nearly cooked (but there's still just a tiny bit of runny egg left) drop on the tomatoes and basil (and cheese, spring onions or chili if you're using them).
  • Fold the empty half of the omelette on top of the other.
  • Slide it onto a plate - the heat from closing the omelette will finish cooking the inside.
