I’m a huge fan of caprese salad, especially right now when tomatoes and basil are literally growing like weeds in the garden! However, it isn’t very high in protein or fat and doesn’t make a good meal by itself. No worries; eggs fix everything! Enter the caprese omelet!
This omelet is very similar to the delicious salad version but with a much bigger protein punch. Tired of the usual bacon and eggs (say it isn’t so!)? Try this Italian variation! An omelet this good can’t be contained to just the breakfast realm — it makes a delicious lunch or dinner also.

This is my favorite omelet (at least for this week)! What’s your favorite? Chime in below!
Absolutely delicious! Took no time to make and of course simple ingredients that I always have on-hand!!! I will be making this again for sure! I added some onions in the middle because I put them in just about everything I eat, and I find the olive oil over the top is an absolute MUST. I will be recommending this recipe to A LOT of people.
