How to Make Italian Omelette

  1. Heat 1/2 cup of leftover spaghetti sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, or microwave for 30-60 seconds until warmed through.
  2. In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until light and frothy.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the whisked eggs.
  5. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to set.
  6. Spread the warmed spaghetti sauce evenly over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, along with a pinch of fresh basil, over the sauce.
  7. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 2-3 more minutes.
  8. Gently fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
  9. Serve immediately with a toasted bagel or English muffin. Enjoy!
  10. **Variations:** Add 1/4 cup cooked sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or other herbs to customize your omelette.
