Here are the ingredients used and the procedure:

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs per omelette
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp cream for every 2 eggs
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • Fresh parsley

Procedure:

1. Finely chop the parsley for a garnish. Set aside. Finely chop or grate garlic clove. Set aside.

2. Open the can of diced tomatoes. Over low heat, warm up some olive oil in a pot, and dump in the garlic, letting it just warm through, about 30 seconds (don’t let it burn!!! Too high heat will kill it right away, as will leaving it on too long.)

3. Dump in tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer away, about 2-3 minutes. 

4. Add in the wine, and continue to stir and simmer, another 2 minutes. Take off the heat, and set aside somewhere warm. 

5. Separate egg whites from yolks. To the yolks, add cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk together. Set aside.

6. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, whip the whites until stiff peaks form, about 5-8 minutes. 

7. Gently, fold in the whisked egg yolk mixture. 

8. Heat a pan on medium. Grease the bottom with a little butter. 

9. When ready, ladle in the egg mixture. Smooth out gently, and let cook one minute. Then, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook another two minutes. 

10. To plate, scoot the omelette to the edge of the pan, and shuffle onto a plate. Flip over half of the omelette as you take it out of the pan. 

11. Top with the tomato sauce, and garnish with parsley. Eat immediately!
