Tomato Basil omelet

It may surprise some of you to know that Mr. M is actually a pretty good cook. He is a master on the grill, but his second specialty is breakfast.

This morning, he went out to the garden and harvested some of the beautiful red tomatoes that are ripening in the sun this month. He also grabbed some generous handfuls of basil - our plants are going crazy despite one huge batch of pesto I already made just a few weeks ago! He chopped the tomatoes and basil, then some red onion. He sauteed the onions over medium heat until they were caramelized.

He then made a beautiful 3-egg omelet for each of us, stuffed to bursting with mozzarella cheese, the sweet, caramelized onions, the sun-warm, ripe tomatoes, and the pungent fresh basil. With some fresh ripe Rocky Ford cantaloupe on the side, it was quite the heavenly breakfast.
