insalata caprese omelette


This morning my mom started throwing together Trader Joe's marinated fresh mozzarella and grape tomatoes for her breakfast. She stepped out to get some basil from the garden, and when she came back I had an idea: "Mom, why don't you put that all in an omelette!" So she whipped up some eggs, threw in the cheese, tomatoes and basil, flipped it together, and gave me half of it. It was delicious. There was an excess of marinated oil (from the cheese) but the cheese was heated just so it softened up a little, the tomatoes were hot and burst when I bit into them, and the basil added an amazing freshness to the entire thing. Insalata caprese in a warm egg wrapper. Mmm.
