Whip this up for the perfect breakfast or brunch. This Caprese Omelette is easy to make, yet stunning and delicious. If you are hosting a bunch or breakfast you can totally wow all your guests with this easy omelette. I’d recommend serving the caprese omelette with a spring salad or a fresh fruit salad.  When tomatoes are in season, this would perfect be the perfect meal to make with your garden tomatoes.

How to make a Caprese Omelette:

  • Whipping the eggs until they foamy will help get a light and fluffy omelette; do this first. 
  • Using a nonstick 8 inch skillet will help contain the omelette while you are cooking it. It is also the perfect size for a traditional omelette. 
  • Cut the tomatoes into 4th’s and add them to a small bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle salt and pepper; mix to combine and set aside. 
  • Add eggs to skillet and when your eggs are close to being set, add tomatoes and mozzarella on one side of the omelette and cook another 30 seconds. 
  • Using a silicone spatula, carefully flip the side of the omelette over the filling, and lightly press down. Cook about another minute.
  • Carefully remove the omelette from the skillet and place it onto the plate. Top with basil pesto, more tomatoes, and some more mozzarella cheese.

I love making this omelette on random days, too, because it makes me feel like I am treating myself to a fancy breakfast. It’s a great way to start the day with some fresh coffee or orange juice.

How to make Homemade Basil Pesto:

  • Ingredients: 1 cup basil leaves, 1 garlic clove, 1 TBS pine nuts, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, salt and pepper
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor; process on high for about 30 seconds, scrape down sides, then process again for 10 seconds. 
  • Scrape out with a spatula, placing into a small bowl.
  • TIP: Want to make extra? Freeze in ice cup trays and store in the freezer- fresh pesto whenever you need it!

Tools you might need to make a Caprese Omelette:

  • I like to use an nonstick 8 inch skillet when making my omelettes.
  • Using a silicone spatula will aid in getting the spatula completely under the eggs.
  • Using a quality balsamic vinegar will help the flavors pop.
