Instructions
Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with a pinch of salt and pepper until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Saute the Tomatoes
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently, until they just begin to soften and release their juices.
Scramble the Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs over the tomatoes and use a silicone spatula to gently fold the eggs in slow wide strokes. Remove the pan from heat while the eggs are still slightly underdone as residual heat will finish cooking them.
Finish and Serve
Immediately fold in the torn mozzarella and fresh basil leaves. The heat from the eggs will gently melt the cheese. Plate and serve right away with crusty bread if desired.
