Cut the cocktail tomatoes into quarters, season the tomatoes with salt, pepper and some brown sugar, baste the tomatoes with some olive oil and let the tomatoes ripen in flavor for about 10 minutes.
Briefly sauté the prepared tomatoes in the pan, caramelizing them slightly – that’s pure, brilliant taste!
Preparation tip for the tomatoes from chef Thomas Sixt
Prepare large tomatoes as shown below.
Tip:
Fry the diced tomatoes only briefly (sauté), you can cook halved or quartered cocktail tomatoes longer (see recipe and video)
Quarter the peeled tomatoes and cut out the core. Cut the tomato flesh into strips or cubes.
When your tomatoes are ready, you can move on to the cheese and basil.
Alternatively, you can prepare your tomato omelette with the cocktail tomatoes as shown in the video.
This is even faster and tastes fantastically delicious!
4. Which Cheese Goes Well With the Tomatoes Omelette
The trick to making an omelette with cheese is to add the cheese right to the egg.
The cheese in the omelette then melts, the cheese on the outside browns deliciously and tastes wonderful.
In general, grated cheese melts faster, which is very important for the omelet preparation. Please grate the cheese as finely as possible.
I like to use Edam, Emmental, mountain cheese, Parmesan or Pecorino for my cheese omelet.
The cheese types Edam, Emmental, mountain cheese, Parmesan or Pecorino are ideal for the cheese omelet. Parmesan is more Italian!
Matching omelette cheeses Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Finely grated parmesan is a recommendation for this dish.
5. Matching Herbs To the Omelette With Tomatoes
I use fresh basil in this recipe.
You can also use fresh parsley, chives, lovage (maggi herb) or thyme.
Frozen herbs or herbal mixtures are also suitable and save you additional time.
You can use dried or frozen herbs if you don’t have fresh ones on hand.
Use dried herbs sparingly, they develop a strong taste.
Fresh herbs, frozen herbs or dried herbs from the spice rack give your omelette a great taste!
