  4. Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables, tilting the pan to distribute evenly.
  5. Cook the omelet undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set, then gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. Once the top is almost set but still slightly runny, remove the pan from the heat.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the tahini and lemon juice together until smooth. Drizzle this mixture over the omelet.
  8. Fold the omelet in half and carefully slide it onto a plate.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes on the side.
