Italian Omelette

A thick, golden egg cake where melting mozzarella creates strings with every bite. Cherry tomatoes burst in the mouth, releasing their tangy juice amidst the mellow parmesan.

Instructions

0/4
  1. Prep the fillings

    Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the mozzarella into one-centimeter cubes. Coarsely chop the basil leaves.

    5 min
  2. Prepare the egg mixture

    Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the parmesan, salt, and pepper. Whisk with a fork just enough to combine, without trying to make it foamy.

    2 min
  3. Sauté the vegetables

    Heat oil and butter in a pan. When the butter stops sizzling, toss in the tomatoes and spinach. Let them wilt for 2 minutes over high heat.

    3 min
  4. Cook the omelette

    Pour the eggs and distribute the mozzarella. Let it set over low heat without stirring. When the edges pull away and the center is still wobbly, sprinkle with basil and serve.

    5 min

Chef's tips

  • Do not over-beat the eggs to maintain a dense and melting texture.
  • Use a non-stick pan so the golden crust slides perfectly when serving.

Storage

Consume immediately to keep the mozzarella melting.
