I love making omelettes, like my Spinach Omelette, Zucchini Omelette, or Tomato Omelette but sometimes I want an easier, simpler version of this classic. I want the base omelet. It takes under 10 minutes to make this recipe, and it’s so versatile as you can add so many fillings and flavors to it and make all kinds of omelettes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you need for a classic omelette recipe, just four ingredients.

• Eggs – Large fresh eggs have the best yellow color. Plus, when eggs are fresh, their whites and yolks combine very easily when beaten with a fork.
• A Pinch of Salt and Pepper – Season to taste.
• Butter – Prefer grass-fed unsalted butter.
• Olive Oil – Prefer extra-virgin olive oil.

Now, it’s up to you but you can add some more flavors to the omelette by adding some extra spices like a pinch of:

• Garlic Powder
• Pepper
• Chili Flakes
• Onion Powder
• Dried Italian Herbs
• Paprika or Cumin

How To Make Healthy Omelette

If you’ve never made an omelette, don’t be shy and give it a go. It’s the easiest healthy breakfast ever, and the whole family will love it.

1. In a shallow bowl, crack the eggs, salt, and pepper, and use a fork to beat the eggs together. You shouldn’t see any more single egg white. It should be well combined but not fluffy either. Don’t use any electric beater or blender to make an omelette!
2. Next, warm a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter and oil.
3. When the butter is melted, tilt the pan to spread the warm fats all over the pan, then pour the egg mixture.
4. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread the egg mixture over its surface.
5. Cook the omelet for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sides of the omelette get dry and set, but the center still shows runny eggs.
6. Use a silicone spatula to lift the sides of the omelette and let the uncooked egg mixture from the middle run under the omelette and cook.
7. Once the middle of the omelette is almost set, it’s time to add any filling you love to one half of the omelette. See my favorite omelette topping ideas below.
8. Finally, flip the omelette in half and keep cooking. Depending on how you like your omelette, you will need to cook it for 1 or 2 minutes.

Filling Suggestions

If you like, you can add fillings to your omelette like:

• Spinach Mushrooms – Cook them in olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick pan before adding.
• Bell Peppers – cooked or raw, these veggies add colors and taste.
• Diced Ham – or rasher bacon.
• Baby Spinach – Or kale.
• Chopped Green Onions – or red onion.
• Grated Cheese like Emmental, Feta, Goat Cheese, Parmesan cheese, or cheddar cheese. Add from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup and let the cheese melt for an ultra-cheesy omelette.
• Freshly Chopped Herbs – parsley and dill are the perfect pairings to cooked eggs.

Serving

Slide the omelette on a plate and serve with extra fresh herbs on top. I also like to add some sauce on top like :

• Drizzle Sriracha Sauce
• Sour Cream
• Hot Sauce

The best sides to omelette are vegetables or bread. Here are some pairing side dishes to omelettes to inspire you:

• Fresh Avocado Slices
• Oven-Roasted Potatoes
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Baguette
• Toasted Wholegrain Bread Slices
