🧂 Salt – ½ tsp (adjust to taste)
🍅 Tomatoes – 1-2 (chopped)
🧈 Butter – 1 tbsp

How to Make Tomato-Basil Egg Omelette
Step 1: Whisk Eggs
Crack three to four eggs into a bowl, add a sprinkle of salt, and whisk until slightly foamy. This makes cooked food smooth and fluffy. Prepare the other ingredients while setting aside the bowl.
Step 2: Tomato Preparation
Pat dry one or two ripe tomatoes after washing. Cut them evenly into rounds for even cooking. Too thin slices may become soft, while bigger slices take longer to cook.
Step 3: Pan Heat
Add one tablespoon of butter to a non-stick pan over medium heat. It prevents ingredients from sticking and adds rich flavour when melted and distributed evenly.
Step 4: Tomato Sauté
Gently insert tomato slices in a single layer in the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes each side. Gently flip and heat for another minute to soften and caramelise.
Step 5: Add Garlic for Aroma
Add one finely chopped garlic clove to the tomato pan. Stir slowly for 30 seconds until aromatic, being careful not to scorch the garlic, which can turn bitter.
6. Pouring Whisked Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed tomatoes and garlic slowly, spreading them evenly. To retain structure, let them rest for a few seconds before stirring.
Step 7: Basil and Feta Cheese
Sprinkle a few torn basil leaves over the eggs for a fresh, spicy taste. Grate Feta cheese on top to melt into the eggs and add creaminess and tanginess.
Step 8: Let Cook
Allow the eggs to cook for three to five minutes by lowering the heat and covering the pan. This sets them while keeping them smooth and creamy.
Step 9: Serve!
After cooking the eggs, remove them from the fire and carefully transfer them to a platter. The meal will look and taste great with caramelised tomatoes, garlic, basil, and melted Feta.
Step 10: Enjoy
Additional basil leaves enhance freshness. Enjoy every bite of this healthy tomato and basil egg dish for breakfast or a light dinner when served warm!
