  1. Heat oil in a small (approx. 20-24cm) non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes and continue cooking until just softened. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Reduce heat to medium.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the base of the empty frying pan. Once the cheese is melted and bubbling, pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
  5. Without stirring or tilting the pan, cook for about 3-4 minutes until set around the edges. Loosen set edges with a heatproof rubber spatula. Cook for a few minutes more until almost set on top, use a spatula to loosen from the bottom.
  6. Spoon the mushroom and tomato mixture over one side of the omelette. Fold the omelette over mushrooms and tomatoes.
  7. Transfer to a plate. Scatter with basil leaves. Serve immediately with tomato salad.

Notes

  • You must use a non-stick frying pan to achieve the perfect golden crust. It will also ensure the omelette slides out of the pan effortlessly.
  • Keep an eye on the heat and reduce if cheese is browning too quickly before the egg sets.
