"A simple but pretty egg white omelette with cherry tomato slices, fresh basil leaves, and a little goat cheese. Inspired by a popular versions using spinach; this is my own creation. The measurements are meant to be a guide - I just measured this by feel."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat butter over medium-low heat in a small nonstick skillet until bubbly.
Step 2
Pour eggs into the skillet, swirling the pan to make sure the entire surface is covered; season to taste, then cover with a glass lid and allow to cook just until the whites are almost set.
Step 3
Remove lid and scatter surface of the eggs with basil, tomatoes, and goat cheese, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper; allow to heat only a bit more - tomatoes and basil will only get slightly heated.
Step 4
Slide omelette onto your plate and serve immediately; you may also fold over the eggs before removing from the pan with a spatula if your pan isn't quite as nonstick as mine.
