Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes (the sweeter the better)
  • ½ cup (10 g) basil, fresh (dried will work if necessary)
  • 1 oz (30 g) favourite cheese (think cheddar, Monterey jack, mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional:

  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 chili (red or green)

Instructions

  • 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.
