  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Omelette Recipe

  • 2 large eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil, butter, or bacon grease

Spinach Mushroom Omelette

  • ½ cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • ½ cup loosely packed baby spinach
  • ¼ cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese

Western Omelette

  • ¼ cup diced turkey
  • 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Tuscan Omelette

  • ½ cup loosely packed kale or spinach
  • ¼ cup diced yellow onion
  • ¼ cup chopped sundried tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Whisk Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is lightly frothy, ensuring even cooking and fluffiness.
  2. Heat Pan: Place an 8-inch non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add olive oil, butter, or bacon grease. Let it heat to coat the pan evenly without smoking.
  3. Cook Omelette Base: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and tilt to spread evenly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are firm and the top is slightly wet but not runny.
  4. Add Fillings: If using fillings, spread your choice (such as mushrooms and spinach or turkey and peppers) over half of the omelette gently, allowing the fillings to warm and incorporate.
  5. Fold Omelette: Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half over the fillings, creating a half-moon shape. Let it cook for another 30 seconds to one minute to meld flavors and fully cook the filling.
  6. Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh herbs as desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Keep stove heat very low to avoid burning the eggs while cooking the top.
  • Use a smaller burner if your stove’s lowest setting is still too high for delicate cooking.
  • Add a lid over the pan if you want the top to cook more quickly and evenly.
  • This recipe’s nutrition facts refer to the basic omelette without additional fillings.
  • Feel free to customize fillings to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
