Do you want an omelette but have you become bored with the usual combinations with vegetables such as courgettes or spinach? Today I give you a fantastic idea to create an omelette that you have probably never eaten: tomato omelette!
The novelty is not in the title, because you will probably have already eaten dishes based on eggs and tomatoes… like eggs in purgatory, a recipe that I proposed to you some time ago and which you can therefore consult right on our website. The novelty, as we were saying, lies in the cooking of the cherry tomatoes!
A bit like what is done in many cakes where we find a type of caramelized fruit on the surface, here we have cherry tomatoes cut in half and caramelized belly down in the pan.
This is the step before cooking the actual omelette and will make all the difference in this recipe, both in taste and presentation!
How to make tomato omelette
Let’s start with one base of extra virgin olive oil flavored with a clove of garlic in a well non-stick pan (essential for turning the omelette without problems at the end). Let’s all get settled chopped cherry tomatoes with the peel facing upwards (so as not to let it dry out and have the “face” of the omelette with the cherry tomatoes all facing the same direction.
Season them with salt, pepper and oregano and let them caramelize naturally (using their sugary juice) over a very low heat for 15-20 minutes.
In the meantime let’s beat the egg simply with some grated parmesan and then pour the mixture into the pan. Naturally, this is done after placing the cherry tomatoes in the centre, removing the garlic and oiling the edges of the pan well with a pastry brush using the oil from the cooking juices.
Let the eggs harden well both on the bottom and on the top, then turn the omelette as per tradition with a firm movement and with the help of a plate. Let it cook for another 2 minutes and it’s ready!
I served it on a bed of salad for a crunchy and fresh touch but you can enjoy it in a nice crazy and take it around for lunch at work or for a nice Sunday outing. I assure you that she will satisfy you completely!
