Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by tearing the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and set them aside. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and keep them ready for cooking. -
Beat the Eggs:
Crack the two eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Beat the mixture vigorously with a fork until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy. -
Heat the Pan:
Place a small non-stick frying pan or skillet on low heat to warm up. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up. Once the oil is hot, turn the heat to high. -
Cook the Tomatoes:
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the heated pan and sauté for about 1 minute until they start to soften. Then, reduce the heat back to low. -
Add Basil and Eggs:
Sprinkle the torn basil leaves over the tomatoes. Carefully pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to spread them out evenly. Let the eggs settle for a moment, then use a fork to gently swirl the eggs around the pan, ensuring they cook evenly. -
Finish Cooking:
Cover the pan with a lid for a few seconds, allowing the eggs to cook through. Once the eggs are set, turn off the heat. -
Serve:
Your Basil & Cherry Tomato Omelette is now ready to be served! For a complete breakfast, serve this omelette alongside crispy Bread Toast and a refreshing Apple Almond Date Smoothie for a perfect combination to kickstart your day.
