DIRECTIONS
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Beat eggs and 3 tablespoons milk together in a small bowl until well mixed.
Pour egg mixture into heated pan, swirling the pan until eggs cover the bottom. Allow the eggs to set and no visible liquid remains, about 2-3 minutes.
After the eggs have set, arrange the tomatoes, cheese and basil on one side of the eggs. Using a spatula, carefully fold omelet in half, bringing the egg portion over the filling. Remove omelet from pan and serve with an 8-ounce glass of milk and enjoy
