Omelette RecipeOmelettes are probably my favorite breakfast food, and I’ve tried omelettes all over the country and even while traveling to Europe. I know a good omelette when I try one, and I also know a bad one when I see one. The biggest mistake people make is overcooking the egg. An omelette should not be browned, or it takes on a strong eggy flavor. A little patience and the right technique will ensure you have the perfect omelette every time.
Even my 10-year-old has mastered making this omelette, and she’s very proud of her skills! She loves making simple and perfectly cooked omelettes on the weekend, and of course, she always offers me one, so I can’t complain!
Omelette Video TutorialWe appreciate simple egg breakfasts like Breakfast Quesadillas, Frittatas, and, of course, Omelettes. They are high in protein, satisfying, and easy to make. They are the most requested breakfast in our house and, 99% of the time, we always have the ingredients in the refrigerator, and all you need are a bowl, fork, small non-stick pan, and a flexible spatula for flipping.
Ingredients for an OmeletteThis is everything you’ll need for a simple cheese omelette (see more variations below).

Eggs – we use large eggs, right out of the refrigerator. You’ll need 2 eggs to make 1 omelette.

Salt – just a pinch of fine sea salt is plenty.

Butter – you want to keep a well-buttered skillet for each omelette. Butter adds flavor and keeps the egg from sticking.

Cheese – we love shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture, part-skim), but you can use cheddar, Mexican cheese blend, Swiss, Monterey Jack, or your favorite cheese for omelettes. Variations and FillingsOmelettes or American omelets are filled with cheese, veggies, and/or protein. French omelettes are just eggs and butter without a filling.

Florentine Omelette – Sauteed mushrooms with chopped baby spinach leaves.

Bacon and Cheese – Crispy air fryer bacon and melted cheese are a perfect match and so satisfying.

Veggie Omelette -Try diced and sautéed bell pepper and onions, or you can top with halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado

Egg White Omelette – omit the yolks for a lighter omelette.

Fresh Herbs– add a little freshness with chopped chives or parsley with a sprinkling of salt and black pepper. Tips for the Best Omelettes

Prep fillings ahead – since omelettes take just a few minutes to cook, make sure all of your fillings and toppings are prepped before you turn on the stove.

Foamy eggs – beat the eggs and salt with a fork until the eggs are foamy. The bubbles will give your egg more rise and become puffy as it cooks.

Avoid black pepper – pepper will pool at the bottom and make your omelette look ugly. Save the pepper for sprinkling over the finished omelette if desired.

A non-stick pan makes it easier to flip your (I love my 8-inch Hexclad pan because it’s not Teflon). You don’t need a fancy omelette pan.

Reduce the heat – Once the eggs are in the pan, reduce the heat to low to give your eggs a chance to cook through without browning.

Be patient – it’s tempting to crank up the heat for the omelette to cook faster, but doing so will brown and ruin the eggs.How to Make an OmeletteThere’s nothing worse than an overcooked omelette. It should be cooked until it’s just set and not browned. Once it’s browned, the egg deteriorates in flavor and texture. Follow these steps for moist and fluffy omelettes every time.

Beat eggs – in a small bowl, combine 2 eggs and a pinch of salt, then beat with a fork or whisk until frothy.

Heat skillet – place a small non-stick pan over medium heat and melt in 1/2 Tbsp of butter. Once butter is melted and bubbly, pour in the egg mixture and reduce heat to low.

Pull cooked eggs with a spatula into the center, allowing the liquid eggs to fill in the space. Watch the video tutorial above to see this process in action.

Flip – once eggs are nearly set, the omelette slides easily on the skillet and you can get a spatula underneath, flip it over. Turn off the heat.

Fold – add cheese and your favorite toppings, fold the omelet, and slide it onto a plate to serve. There’s a reason why this is the most requested breakfast in our home. It feels elegant, but literally takes 2-3 minutes to make! Omelettes are delicious and so satisfying, especially when made properly, and they’re best enjoyed fresh, so have a warm plate ready to enjoy the best omelette you’ve tried!
