Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced (about 300 g)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 sprigs of spring onions (scallions), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper
  • 150 grams (about 5 oz) cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tea glass (about 120 ml) milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes and Garlic: Slice the tomatoes into 1 cm thick pieces and mince the garlic cloves finely.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and garlic, cooking until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Cook the Tomatoes: Add the sliced tomatoes to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until they have softened and released their juices.
  4. Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add the chopped spring onions, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, ground pepper, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
  5. Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture gently over the cooked tomatoes in the pan. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking.
  6. Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot with a glass of milk on the side.

Recipe Notes

  • For a fuller flavor, allow the tomatoes to caramelize a bit before adding the egg mixture.
  • If you prefer firmer eggs, cook the omelette a little longer on low heat.
  • Use a lid while cooking to help steam the eggs and ensure even cooking.
  • Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving can elevate the dish even more.
