Tips & Variations

Vegetables

Fresh baby spinach, briefly fried mushrooms, courgette or pepper all work well. Vegetables with a lot of moisture are best fried first so the omelette doesn’t turn watery.

Cheese

Feta, grated mozzarella or other cheese can be scattered over one half just before folding.

Herbs & seasoning

Chives, parsley, nutmeg or paprika add variety.

Adding a filling

Add pre-cooked ingredients once the omelette has started to set, then finish cooking and fold it over. Depending on the type, cook raw ingredients beforehand.

Serving suggestion

Served with a green salad or a slice of bread, it becomes a more substantial meal.
