-
1 1/3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Preheat oven to 200 F.
-
Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Cover them completely with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes, or until you assemble the rest of your ingredients.
-
When tomatoes have reconstituted, drain the liquid.
-
Arrange the mozzarella cheese, basil, and Parmesan cheese in bowls or on plates near the stove for easy access.
-
In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs together with 2 tablespoons milk.
-
Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and tilt pan to coat it completely with melted butter.
-
When butter foams, add the egg mixture and use a rubber spatula to rapidly stir eggs in pan for a few seconds.
-
Then shake pan to evenly distribute eggs, and let cook over medium-high heat until eggs are nearly set.
-
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1 tablespoon basil, 1/4 cup tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese over one-half of the omelet. Season omelet lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Run the rubber spatula lightly under the other half to make sure it's not stuck, then gently fold the egg mixture over the filling.
-
Let cook another minute or two to let cheese melt, then slide the omelet out of the skillet onto a plate.
-
Keep warm in a 200 F oven while you repeat the process to create additional omelets with the remaining ingredients. Serve omelets warm.
