Quick omelette with mozzarella

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp yogurt 10% fat
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp basil, dried, chopped
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • e.g. salt and pepper
  • some oil for frying
  • 1 ball of mozzarella
  • possibly olive oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Heat a little oil in a small pan. Carefully whisk the eggs with the yogurt, milk, tomato paste, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and stir gently until the mixture is chunky and barely runny, but still completely coats the bottom of the pan. Let the omelet set over medium heat for a few minutes, then turn and fry until lightly golden brown on the other side. Since the omelet is very soft, halve it before turning it over if necessary. In the meantime, cut the mozzarella into pieces, arrange them on a pan-sized plate, and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired. Slide the hot omelet out of the pan onto the mozzarella. Variations: You can also spread the mozzarella over the omelet after turning it over in the pan and let it melt slightly with the lid closed, or you can fold it into the omelet the traditional way. It also tastes delicious scrambled – with or without mozzarella.
