EASY TOMATO OMELETTE

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.

FRESH TOMATO OMELETS WITH MOZZARELLA CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together eggs, salt and pepper. Coat an unheated 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Pour 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
• Immediately begin stirring egg mixture gently but continuously with a wooden or plastic spatula until mixture resembles small pieces of cooked egg surrounded by liquid egg. Stop stirring. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds more or until egg mixture is set but shiny.
• Sprinkle half of the oregano onto eggs. Place 2 slices of tomato on top of one half of the egg mixture in skillet. Top with half of the shredded mozzarella.
• With a spatula, lift and fold opposite edge of the omelet over tomato slices. Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture, oregano, tomato and cheese to make another omelet.

ITALIAN OMELET RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 200 F.
• Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Cover them completely with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes, or until you assemble the rest of your ingredients.
• When tomatoes have reconstituted, drain the liquid.
• Arrange the mozzarella cheese, basil, and Parmesan cheese in bowls or on plates near the stove for easy access.
• In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs together with 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and tilt pan to coat it completely with melted butter.
• When butter foams, add the egg mixture and use a rubber spatula to rapidly stir eggs in pan for a few seconds.
• Then shake pan to evenly distribute eggs, and let cook over medium-high heat until eggs are nearly set.
• Sprinkle about 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1 tablespoon basil, 1/4 cup tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese over one-half of the omelet. Season omelet lightly with salt and pepper.
• Run the rubber spatula lightly under the other half to make sure it's not stuck, then gently fold the egg mixture over the filling.
• Let cook another minute or two to let cheese melt, then slide the omelet out of the skillet onto a plate.
• Keep warm in a 200 F oven while you repeat the process to create additional omelets with the remaining ingredients. Serve omelets warm.
