How'd you like your omelettes?

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...

Pan sprayed with Pam/ 2 large eggs beaten/ caramelized onion/ whatever cheese I have available/ and any left over veg.

Just gotta have the onions and the cheese...GOTTA have the cheese!

depending on the ingredients, i would add any or some of the below:
salt pepper zaatar
chives
basil
rosemary
parsley
oregano
corriander

herbs preferable fresh

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

dc1arkson: Lol! You stay full all day. No, that is five different omelettes.

Any way, any time.

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.

Or I'll make a sweet omelette, also with a cup of egg whites mixed with splenda and cinnamon, cooked in coconut oil, stuffed with a serving of oatmeal and topped with fruit, peanut butter and sugar free syrup... but I'm weird

Seriously like the sound of that popcorn seasoning! And yess a sweet omelette totally never thought of that it really sounds amazing

Like this

Simply done. 3 whole eggs, seasoning, 3 chillies, no dairy , or a sunny side up.

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!

Add fresh spinach (huge handful), smoked salmon, and cream cheese. Low carb heaven!

I give you the spaghetti omelette!

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