MAKES 1 // COOKING TIME 15 min

INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp oil
1 garlic clove, sliced
⅓ cup baby tomatoes
3 eggs
2 tbsp milk
¼ cup mozzarella, torn into pieces
3 tbsp Cheddar, grated
1 tbsp basil pesto
¼ cup fresh basil
To Serve
1 slice wholewheat toast

METHOD
1. Fry garlic in 1 tbsp oil until golden brown (1–2 minutes). Remove from the pan.
2. Add tomatoes and fry until they start to blister and soften. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat remaining oil in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl the pan so that it forms an even layer.
5. Let the egg cook for 2–3 minutes, until the middle starts to set.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Cheddar over one half and dot small spoonfuls of pesto. Once cooked through and the cheese has melted, top the same side with the garlic, tomatoes and fresh basil.
7. Use a spatula to flip the other side of the caprese salad omelette over the fillings and slide it on to a plate. Serve with toast.
