Note

To skin tomatoes: Score a small 'X' on the bottom, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. The skins will peel off easily.

For a richer flavor, you can use butter instead of olive oil for the omelette base, though olive oil works well with the Mediterranean-inspired ingredients.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet.

Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the filling for extra nutrition and flavor.
