Help me make a 300 or 350-calorie omelette!

I'd put a cup of sauted veggies as a mix of onions, zuchinis, tomatoes and pepper... would be really tasty if u cut them in small pieces
I was going to say this same thing. Carmelize some red onions or saute red onions with garlic, bell pepper (the mushrooms too). That makes a difference.
or...just roasted red bell pepper or sun dried tomato from a jar for quick and easy.
Regardless, for me - no omelet is complete without avocado and a healthy amount of freshly ground black pepper.0 -
Take your pick(s).
Some oil for the pan.
More cheese.
Bacon, ham, or sausage or whatever meat you like.
Veggies like onions, tomatoes, peppers, etc. to add flavor.
Add another egg.
Cream Cheese.
Guacamole and hot sauce.
Salsa and sour cream on top.
Add some heavy whipping cream when whisking. Makes scrambled eggs and omelettes delicious and a little fluffier.0 -
sauteed onions = LOTS OF FLAVOR. same with garlic.
and toss in some veggies while sauteeing.... bell pepper, asapragus, spinach, avocado, whatever your heart desires.
and of course, fresh ground black pepper.

ops, don't sautee the avocado. but do add it to the omelette !!0

Adding ham or bacon would make it perfect! I sometimes top mine with some cottage cheese.
My typical omelet is around 200 cals though.
I whip up 2 eggs with some chives or basil, cayenne pepper, 5 or 6 drops of Tabasco sauce (I like a little spice), garlic powder and salt. Cook it with cooking spray...if I want some more fat, I'll use a little butter.0 -
Ever try a greek omelette (feta cheese, spinach, tomato or any other greek flavoring you can think of), or western omelette (ham, onion, peppers, and I like mushrooms in it too)?
Canadian or turkey bacon can be used instead of real bacon or use more cheese that is part skim or low fat.
Edited to add: turkey sausage is great too!0 -

spring onion, and tomato0

I have an omelet almost every morning and like my breakfast to be at around 400 calories. For me, the omelet is usually around 200-250 or so (I use 2 eggs, vegetables, and feta cheese), so face a similar question. Mostly what I like to do is add something that adds protein, since the eggs alone don't have all that much. So typically I get 100 calories or so from either smoked salmon or dairy (cottage cheese or greek yogurt), which I have on the side, although you could put the meat in the omelet, of course. Then, depending on the overall calories, I might add some berries--which I know you don't want--or lately winter squash, since I have some roasted in the refrigerator I need to use up.
Adding another egg is a good idea too, however.0 -
Canadian bacon. you can have three!0

Oh, and black olives are good in omelettes, too.0

So, I'm trying to come up with an omelette that's under 300-350 calories. (Please don't say "why 300-350 calories?" I have my reasons, but I don't want to argue!)
At the moment, I have:
Two large eggs - 187 calories
1/8 cup shredded cheese - 43
1/2 cup mushrooms - 10 calories
For a total of 240 calories.
What else can I add to make it flavorful/filling for 60-110 more calories? No dessert/fruit stuff, please!
Is fruit in an omelette a thing? I kind of want to experiment with this now.0 -
I love spinach in an omelette. And onions are a must!0
-
Spinach, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes0
-
I saute 1/2 cup of zucchini, 1/4 cup of red pepper and 2 tbsp. of onion in a little coconut oil and use that as my filling along with some shredded cheese. Go easy on the oil and you should be able to get that to come out to around 350.0

My omelets are more veggies than eggs. I usually add a touch of cashew milk to make the eggs fluffier. Then lots of chopped sauteed veggies - onions, zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, and red pepper are my fav. I would pass on the cheese and add avocado myself.0
-
spinach & goat cheese!0
-
bacon grease- more eggs- bacon- veggies- big glass of milk.
- done.My omelets are more veggies than eggs
lol me too sometimes- I use easily a cup plus for 2-4 eggs- sometimes it really is just egg kind of holding all the veggies together. It's amusing (least to me anyway LOL)0 -
I'd add onions and spinach.0
-
For me....a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top. Sounds weird I know but I love this on my omelettes or scrambled eggs.0
