instructions
    1

    Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper, then whisk them together until fully blended.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the skillet so that the eggs cover the bottom evenly.

    4

    Allow the eggs to cook for about 2 minutes without stirring, until the edges start to firm up but the center is still slightly runny.

    5

    Slice the tomato and mozzarella cheese. Once the eggs are set on the edges, add the mozzarella and tomato slices over half of the omelette.

    6

    Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the cheese and tomato.

    7

    Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the filling, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella is melted.

    8

    Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Caprese Omelette!
