Pesto Omelette with Crisp Garden Salad
A tender, pale-gold French-style omelette folded around melting cheese and brushed with vivid basil pesto. On the side, a crunchy salad of red and green leaves, cucumber and cherry tomatoes in a sharp lemon dressing keeps things fresh. A balanced, vegetarian plate that is on the table in about fifteen minutes.

-
Toss the salad leaves, cucumber and tomatoes with the olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set on one side of the plate.
-
Beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper until fully blended and no streaks of white remain.
-
Melt the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until foaming. Pour in the eggs and stir with a spatula for 30 seconds, then let them settle into an even layer.
-
When the top is barely set but still glossy, about 1 1/2 minutes, scatter the gruyere over one half and fold the omelette closed.
-
Slide onto the plate beside the salad and spread the pesto over the top in rough streaks while the omelette is hot.
