Mozzarella Caprese Omelette

I recently discovered the magic of Trader Joe's Basil Pesto.  
It's sooo GOOD!
This is what I had for brunch yesterday.  YUMMY!

i pile on sliced grape tomatoes and sliced mozzarella balls

it makes enough for 2 healthy servings






MOZZARELLA CAPRESE OMELETTE

Ingredients:

Eggs (I used 3 eggs + 2 egg whites)
Basil Pesto (I used about 1 Tbsp)
Mozzarella Balls (I used about 8)
Grape Tomatoes (I used about 10)

Directions:
1.  In a bowl, combine eggs and pesto.  Stir well
2.  Pour into ungreased crepe pan or skillet (no need to add oil or butter to pan because there's already olive oil in the pesto)
3.  Cook eggs on low to medium heat until mostly set
4. Add sliced mozzarella balls and sliced grape tomatoes
5.  Fold in half to form an omelette
6.  Heat until cheese is melty and gooey
7. Transfer to plates

Enjoy!
