Ingredients
- 4 large egg
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
Instructions
- Whisk the 1 egg and 1 tablespoon pesto in a bowl.
- Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the bottom.
- Allow the egg to cook for one minute, using a rubber spatula to gently pull the egg away from the sides of the pan so the rest of the liquid egg can continue to coat the pan and cook.
- Using the spatula, fold the outside parts of the omelet inwards into a square shape (to fit the bread).
- Remove the square-shaped omelet to a plate, place a slice of bread topped with 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese, cheese side up, in the pan. Top with the omelette, another 2 tablespoons of cheese and slice of bread. Cook for 1 minute on each side until golden.
- Repeat steps to make all 4 sandwiches.
