Pizza Omelette

Why didn't I think of this before?! Pizza is amazing. Omelettes are fabulous. So I just combined the two into one incredible meal. This marriage combines everything you love about pizza (zesty marinara and gooey cheese) with the world's fluffiest omelette. It's so wholesome too; clearly no better way to start your day.

This recipe was born out of Kyle's breakfast request, which was simply "Surprise me". Music to my ears. And he was definitely surprised! 

Since I was just cooking for Kyle, this recipe serves one. If you want to serve more people, you can either make 4 individual omelettes and keep them warm in a 250 degree oven (on a foil-lined baking sheet), OR, you can make two larger omelettes and cut them in half.

Pizza Omelette

1 tablespoon butter
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablesoons shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/3 cup marinara sauce of choice
Crushed red pepper flakes for serving, optional

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Whisk together the eggs, basil, salt, and pepper and add the mixture to the pan. Cook until the eggs are set and almost cooked through, lifting the sides gently to allow the uncooked egg to slide underneath. Top one half of the eggs with 4 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold over the untopped side to cover the cheese. Spoon the sauce over the omelet and top with the remaining cheese. Cover with foil and let the omelette cook for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
Top with crushed red pepper flakes, if using, and serve hot.
