I love fresh basil! This omelet is special because the filling is so fresh and crisp. I really don't know the nuitrition values here but its not drenched in butter and seems to be pretty healthy to me.

How To Make feta and fresh basil omelet

Step 1

Preheat broiler. Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl beat whites until soft peaks form. Fold whites into yolks. Pour olive oil into a hot oven proof skillet and roll pan to cover bottom with the oil. Pour eggs into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Place skillet under broiler to cook eggs 2-3 minutes more. They should be golden and set, not runny.

Step 2

Slide omelet out of skillet. Top with cheese, basil, and onion. Fold over omelet and serve.
