A super smart second course because it’s delicious and very quick to prepare, the rolled omelette in pizzaiola style is the joy of both adults and children. A very simple omelette to fill with tomato sauce and lots of melting cheese. I used asiago which, as you know by now, is one of my favorite cheeses, but we can easily use the cheese we prefer or simply have in the fridge. We can make it even richer with cured meats, grilled vegetables, mushrooms, or whatever our imagination suggests. We can also prepare it in advance and heat it in the oven at the last moment to melt the cheese. My last suggestion is always to choose free-range eggs because happy hens certainly produce a healthier product. Let’s get to work and prepare the rolled omelette in pizzaiola style together.

Preparation of the rolled omelette in pizzaiola style
In a bowl, pour the tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and oregano. Mix and set aside.
Break the eggs, add salt and pepper, add Parmesan cheese and beat them lightly. Pour a little oil into a pan. Add the eggs and cook for a few minutes on each side, flipping halfway through the cooking.
Spread the tomato sauce on the omelette. Cover with sliced cheese and roll it up. If necessary, secure with toothpicks to keep the omelette rolled. Top with Parmesan and a final drizzle of oil. Place in the oven on a baking tray lined with parchment paper at 392°F for 5 minutes and serve.
Storage
You can store the omelette in the fridge for a couple of days.
Can I use another type of cheese?
Of course, you can use the cheese you like in slices or diced.
