Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
2. Gently fold the diced tomato and chopped basil into the egg mixture.
3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using cooking spray, coat the pan lightly.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to spread evenly.
5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese on top.
6. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette as it cooks, letting any uncooked egg flow underneath.
7. Once the bottom is set and slightly golden, carefully fold the omelette in half.
8. Cook for another minute until fully cooked through and cheese is melted if added.
9. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
