  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

  3. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they soften.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top, then gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
