Caprese Salad in Italian: Insalata Caprese, meaning "Salad of Capri", is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil. It was made to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green. In Italy, it is usually served as an antipasto (starter). Using the same ingredients, I made this Caprese Omelette for breakfast.

Caprese Omelette

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 green onion, chopped

6 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, grated

kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1Preheat a small skillet over high heat. Mix together the eggs, green onions, tomatoes and basil in a small bowl. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the egg mixture. As the omelet cooks, lift the edges up and tilt the pan so the uncooked portion flows underneath the omelet. Once the eggs are mostly set, toss on the fresh basil and flip over.

2Layer the cheese on half of the omelet and fold the omelet in half. Cook until the bottom gets browned and flip over to cook the other side. Serve with kosher salt and pepper on top.
