Omelet showcases egg's versatility

Eggs are a wonderful asset when it comes to making a fast meal from scratch, since they often benefit from quick, gentle cooking - besides offering nutritional value and versatility.

This recipe is an old favorite with a difference: an omelet made in a few minutes that charms the palate with its taste of the Mediterranean region and evokes Provence in a classic combination of ingredients.

The ingredients that conjure up that flavor aren't hard to come by. Olives from the pantry shelf, some Asiago cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil will do it.

This recipe serves two people, but if you have a few friends in for lunch or brunch nothing will go down better and more easily than repeat batches of fresh omelets made to order.
