Step 1:

How do you make a skillet omelet with tomatoes and cheese? Gather everything you need. The amounts are just a starting point — bump any ingredient up or down to suit your taste. Use any cheese, as long as it grates easily. Milk of any fat content works; the higher the fat, the richer the finished dish.
Step 2:

Wash the tomatoes, cut them in half, and remove the stem end. Slice the tomatoes. Grate the cheese.
Step 3:

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs with the milk. Add a little salt and spices. Whisk everything together.
Step 4:

Heat a skillet until hot and add a little vegetable oil — you can also cook the omelet in butter. Pour in the egg mixture; the bottom will start to set right away.
Step 5:

Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the whole surface of the omelet. The more tomatoes, the juicier the finished omelet.
Step 6:

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low, and cook the omelet for 4 to 6 minutes. On low heat it takes a little longer, but it won't burn.
Step 7:

Covered, the omelet has time to cook through completely and turn fluffy. Once the whole thing is evenly set and no liquid remains, take the pan off the heat.
Step 8:

Sprinkle the finished omelet with chopped fresh herbs, plate it, and serve. Enjoy!

Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft ones don't hold their shape — they'll fall apart into mush as you slice and cook them and spoil the look of the dish.
How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate bowl. First, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean, and the yolk sits up shiny, rounded, and firm rather than spreading out.
Always wash your eggs before using them — even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
