    Typically I do 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, spinach, feta and sometimes chopped deli ham.
    I like broccoli and cheddar too.

    Or just egg whites with spinach, feta, and a few grape tomatoes

    2-3 whole eggs (depends on my cals)
    2-3 eggs whites

    Then I change up my mixins. I use a variety of:
    Cheese: Cheddar cheese, goat cheese, american cheese, cream cheese, feta, mozzarella
    Meat: Chicken, steak, deli ham, bacon
    Vegetables: Red bell pepper (raw and roasted), mushrooms, spinach, kale, onion (raw and caramelized), summer squash
    Herbs: Dill, basil
    Toppings: Sour cream, avocado

    And now I want an omelet...

    3 or 4 eggs
    8 oz chicken or ham
    28 grams pepper jack
    Green peppers
    Onions
    Green chili
    And some tater tots to soak up the yolk. Yes I know it's not really an omelette. I like to call it a yolky mess.

    I am a hit or miss omelette cook. Most of mine look more like a scramble. I like:

    Zucchini, tomato, garlic and provolone
    Green pepper, onion, ham and cheddar
    Tomato, bacon and cheese
    Cheese, salsa and avocado
    Parmesan, spinach, roasted red pepper and basil

    Onions, mushroom, steak and cheese. And I've never been disappointed with LL Cool J's egg recommendation

    My regular: butter, 2 or 3 organic free range whole eggs, salt, pepper, when they firm a teaspoon of basil pesto and often a slice of cheese, flip the half over the other and finish.

    Simply the BEST:
    1 Egg

    1 oz Feta Cheese
    1 tsp olive oil
    Small nonstick frying pan
    1) Turn on small non-stick frying pan & add tsp of olive oil
    2) Chop onion well (i put it in my mini chopper)
    3) Beat egg with chopped onions
    4) Pour egg into pan & lay pieces of feta around

    D-E-F-R-I-C-K-I-N-L-I-S-H.... The end.

    2 eggs or equivilent in egg substitute

    From there it varies - I love veggies, so celery, tomato, onion and bell pepper is normal. Those are pantry ingredients for me as well so I always have them on hand. I will also throw in other veggies I might have on hand so if I have a spare jalapeno or kale or spinach or some broccoli hanging about, chop 'em small and toss 'em in.

    Before dieting, I might have thrown in chorizo or other sausage. If I did one now, I would use Morning Star Spicy sausage substitute. Ham is pretty classic, but I rarely have ham in the house. These days there is a lot more chicken and fish. I've never tried any sort of chicken or fish, but once had a crab meat ommie at the beach. I was not impressed though. Others must like it because I see it on menu's often. I love crab and I love eggs, but the combo just didn't work for me.

    Mix it up with some fresh herbs or spices to get a flavor profile you like. Chives would always work well in my world as does a bit of cumin. If tried tarragon, but I am mixed on the results; seems I like the more earthy flavors. I never go wrong with smoked paprika or some chipotle powder (but I love the smoky flavor and I like some zip to my foods). Obviously match your herbs and spices to your other ingredients. (which reminds me of a book in my collection called the Flavor Bible. I used to use it more when I first started cooking, but not as much anymore. It basically gives you combo's of flavor that work together such as basil-tomato-mozzarella.)

    For a finish or a sauce, I've been known to use ketchup on mornigns I am sluggish. Of course, you can always sprinkle some of the chopped veg/meat on top. I dash of herbs/spice that you used. A sprinkle of good cheddar (shredded) is always nice. I like some spice to my foods, so a hot pepper relish is a fine finish some days. Of course some fresh cracked pepper and a pinch of salt will finish it all very nicely.

    Ommies are great because they are versatile and great for using up the last of a store of veggies that will go bad soon. I use soup and salads for the same purpose sometimes. About the only food group that I haven't considered for an ommie. I just can't see doing a porridge ommie, but hey, others may love it (but i doubt it).

    Southwestern-style Egg Beaters 1/2 cup
    Pepper Jack - ultra thin slice
    Salsa - Tablespoon - medium
    Guacamole - 1/2 of a mini snack cup - spicy
    Sour cream - 1 tablespoon
    OR
    Just about anything goes in an omelette. Great way to use up veggies and meats!

    Currently I have (3) different versions that I make:
    (1) egg and (2) egg whites then:
    1. Asparagus and mushroom with Cabot's cheddar cheese w/Jalapeno - 50%
    2. Spinach, Tomato, Shallots with Feta
    3. basic Garden omelet - grape tomatoes, peppers, red onion or shallot and Cabot's cheddar

      Then I have some fresh pineapple and if calories allow it, 1/2 an Ezekiel English muffin with it.

    I am glad to see there is a little bit of salad right there on top. Gotta get your greens in at every meal!
