Caprese Omelet (High-Protein!)
Whether you’re in the mood for a quick weekday breakfast or a leisurely weekend brunch, this meal delivers the ultimate feel-good vibe.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, minced
- 3 to 4 tomato slices
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- Fresh whole basil leaves
- Balsamic glaze, optional
Instructions
- Season eggs with salt, pepper and minced basil. Set aside.
- Liberally mist an 8- or 10-inch skillet with oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add tomato slices to the hot pan and allow them to sear on first side for 1 minute.
- Using a rubber spatula, flip tomatoes and sear second side for another minute. Pour eggs over tomatoes, tilting the pan to evenly distribute them across the entire circumference.
- Allow eggs to cook and firm, about 2 minutes. Then, layer on mozzarella slices and cover pan with lid to allow the cheese to melt.
- When cheese is melted, scatter a few fresh basil leaves and transfer open-faced omelet to a plate by carefully sliding it off the pan.
- Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or pesto and freshly ground black pepper.
