Mozzarella omelet with olive oil is a simple yet flavorful breakfast option that's quick to prepare. This dish combines the richness of mozzarella cheese with the smooth texture of eggs, enhanced by the subtle flavor of olive oil. Perfect for a nutritious start to your day, this omelet can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a side of fresh vegetables or toast.
Instructions:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and let it warm up for a minute or two.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add a dash of salt and black pepper. Pour in the water. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are well beaten and slightly frothy.
Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Swirl the pan gently to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed across the surface.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set but the middle is still slightly runny. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese. Press down gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately while hot, perhaps with a side of fresh salad or toast.
