Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup milk
  • Small bunch fresh chopped basil
  • 1/2 Cup mozzarella grated
  • Arugula leaves (optional
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and milk. Whisk until light and foamy, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the chopped basil and season with salt and pepper.
  • In an 8 inch non skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter and tilt to coat the pan. Pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, start lifting the sides and tilting the pan little by little to let the egg cook evenly. Do this for about 5 - 8 minutes. When the eggs have almost set, evenly spread over the cheese. Allow the cheese to melt, 1 - 2 minutes. Fold over in thirds and remove from pan. Serve immediately.
