A golden and fluffy shell encloses the gooey and fragrant heart of Fontina Valdostana DOP. Fresh herbs, black pepper, and the sweetness of cherry tomatoes make every bite a journey through the authentic flavors of mountain Italy.
Break the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and beat vigorously with a whisk until you obtain a homogeneous and airy mixture.
Cut the Fontina Valdostana DOP into small cubes to facilitate melting. Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Heat the butter in a cast iron (or non-stick) pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and remove it as soon as it turns golden. Pour in the eggs and cook without stirring for about 1 minute.
When the edges start to set, distribute the Fontina Valdostana DOP on one side of the omelette, sprinkle with some of the chopped aromatic herbs and a dash of pepper.
Fold the omelette in half, cover with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the center is gooey and the shell is slightly golden.
Serve immediately, garnishing with the remaining cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and a sprinkle of aromatic herbs. Add another pinch of black pepper to taste.

Consume immediately to maintain the fluffiness and gooey center. If necessary, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 day and briefly reheat in a non-stick pan.
