ingredients

1 tablespoon water
3 large eggs (If you need to restrict cholesterol, use 3/4 cup egg substitute, or use some egg whites in place of )
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
¹⁄₂ cup diced canned tomatoes with onion and garlic, drained
¹⁄₄ cup shredded muenster cheese
2 tablespoons canned sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon herbs de provence parsley sprig, for garnish

directions

Combine eggs, water and pepper in a small bowl; whisk gently to blend the whites and yolks, but not to make them frothy. Melt the olive oil in a 10-inch, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, tilting to coat the bottom and sides. Once the oil is hot, pour the eggs inches.
As the eggs start to set, lift the edges so the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath. Cook until the eggs are set and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Top half the omelet with tomatoes, cheese and olives; sprinkle with parsley and herbs de Provence. Flip the unfilled half of the omelet over the top. Heat until lightly browned on the bottom, then slide onto a plate to serve. Garnish with parsley sprigs.

This omelet is full of flavor and easy to prepare. I followed the recipe in its entirety except I left out the olives (because my DH isn't a fan). Thanks for sharing a delicious recipe.
