Ultimate Tomato Basil Omelette




















WOW. I had some leftover tomato basil salad, complete with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil so I decided to blend it all together to create more of a chunky sauce and it was unbelieveable. This omlette was outstanding.

Ingredients:

- 2 eggs
- tomato, basil, mozzarella salad, blended together
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of your choice of meat, chopped
- canola oil
- salt
- pepper
- parsley to garnish

To Make:
In an omelette pan, drizzle some canola oil and turn on stove to medium heat.

Beat the 2 eggs in a dish, season with salt and pepper and dump into the hot pan. Spread the meat around in the pan, add cheese and 1 tablespoon of tomato mixture.

Top with a lid and cover for about 2 minutes, set stove to medium low heat.

Uncover, fold omlette in half and let cook for another minute.

Remove from pan, top with the rest of the tomato mixture and garnish with parsley.

I know... it's your new favorite breakfast. :-)
