Cook the Eggs: Place a sauté pan over medium heat and add the sesame oil, allowing it to heat up. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, swirling gently with a spatula to distribute them evenly. Cook the eggs, moving them occasionally with the spatula, until they begin to set around the edges but are still slightly runny in the middle.
-
Add the Blue Cheese: Once the eggs are partially set, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese evenly over the surface of the omelet. Continue to cook for another minute or two until the cheese begins to melt into the eggs.
-
Fold the Omelet: Gently fold the omelet in half, ensuring that the filling is enclosed and the cheese is perfectly melted inside.
-
Garnish and Serve: Carefully transfer the omelet to a plate. Decorate the top with thinly sliced tomatoes for a fresh and vibrant touch. Serve while warm.
