Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper and garlic.
Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the sun-dried tomatoes, cheese and basil over the middle of the egg “pancake,” then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over onto itself. If you don’t like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate, and serve.
I dry my own tomatoes as garden permits, but do not preserve in olive oil. Instead, I freeze the dried ones until needed, rehydrate somewhat when needed for recipe, and adjust oil in recipe as needed, dice dried tomatoes if needed.
Great recipe. I substituted feta.

Amazing and delicious! Used feta instead of goat. I agree, cut the oil in half. The sun dried tomatoes bring additional oil.
I substituted goat cheese for feta cheese and augmented to a big garlic. Absolutely delicious!! One revision- lower to one teasp of olive oil. Enjoy!
Should the garlic clove be minced or sliced, or just added whole?

I added spinach and use parmeson...delish
Don't hate me, but I detest goat cheese, is there a not too smelling can anyone recommend a substitute?
Thanks for the reminder of making an omelette! I haven't made one in years and this was a nice somewhat spicy recipe with the sun-dried tomatoes. I used feta cheese.....
I loved this recipe... so easy to make and delicious. I'm a huge fan of sundried tomatoes anyway but with the garlic and goat cheese it was absolutely delicious.

Quick, easy, delicious. I'll probably cut the olive oil down to one teaspoon next time. Two made it a little too slippery for me.
Great recipe. I substituted feta.
