Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (120g)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk or cream
- Pinch of salt (0.5g)
- Pinch of black pepper (0.5g)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) prepared pesto (Basil recommended)
- 1/4 cup (30g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup (30g) sliced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup (20g) spinach leaves, chopped
- Optional: 1 tablespoon (5g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
- Chop the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and spinach. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
- Heat the olive oil or butter in the non-stick frying pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of egg mixture sizzles gently.
- Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan.
- Let the omelet cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, or until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the chopped vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet. Dot the other half of the omelet with pesto.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, over the vegetables and pesto. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the omelet is cooked to your liking.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
