How to make Mediterranean Supper Omelette with Fennel, Olives, and Dill

Cover and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and mash with fork; mix in olives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to medium bowl.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and cook until eggs are just set in centre, tilting skillet and lifting edges of omelette with spatula to let uncooked portion flow underneath, about 3 minutes.

Garnish with chopped fennel fronds and serve.
