How to Make Classic Egyptian Omelette

  1. Skin and slice 2 medium tomatoes.
  2. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion and lightly fry in 1 tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until softened (about 3 minutes).
  3. Crush 1 clove of garlic and add it to the onion, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the pan.
  5. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft (about 5 minutes).
  6. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 3 large eggs. Stir in 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan with the tomato and onion mixture.
  8. Cook over low heat, gently lifting the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the bottom is set and the top is mostly cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Carefully flip the omelette and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until fully cooked through and golden brown.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
