EZCR#26 - TOMATO MUSHROOM BASIL OMELETTE

Another dish without meat which I prepared with fresh mushrooms.  There are various types of fresh mushrooms in abundance in Xiamen.
I cooked this tomato egg foo yong [omelette] when my neighbor gave me a bunch of Basil leaves from his garden. This is a healthy omelette with tomatoes, fresh mushrooms [I used White Crab mushrooms], basil leaves and eggs.

The omelette is very aromatic with the basil leaves, the soft tomatoes are sourish and the mushrooms are crunchy and sweet. Lovely omelette which is soft, moist and tasty to go with rice.  I believe this is a healthy dish packed with ample nutrients.

3 eggs – lightly beaten

1 large tomato – skinned and diced
