Stage 10 - 7 min.
Pour the beaten eggs around the tomatoes and cook the omelette, pushing the eggs around gently with a wooden spatula.
Stage 11 - 2 min.
When the omelette is almost cooked but a little of the egg is still runny, add the mushrooms on top of the tomatoes.
Stage 12 - 2 min.
Then add the remaining tomato slices.

Fold the sides in towards the centre and turn off the heat.
Stage 14 - 5 min.
Cover the omelette with a sheet of aluminium foil and leave to rest like this for a few minutes before serving to finish cooking gently.
Remarks
In Provence, tomato omelettes are often eaten cold. This is the meal eaten by the hunters of Bartavelles (Marcel's father and uncle Jules) in 'My Father's Glory' (La Gloire de Mon Père) by Marcel Pagnol.
And to drink?
My father used to say, "With an omelette, you need a drop of white!", and he was absolutely right, so I suggest a very dry white, such as a Muscadet.
Keeping
A few hours in the fridge, protected with plastic film.
