    Leftover grilled chicken diced up small, spinach, maybe some sausage or bacon if I don't have the chicken, not just cheese but FETA cheese (mmmm!), black olives....

    I use 2 whole eggs, and half a cup of vegetables, consisting of onions, red peppers, zucchini and red onions. You can add or eliminate vegetables.

    You just put the vegetables in a skillet or sautee pan, you can use oil to cook them but I don't. Cook on low for about 5 minutes or until they get soft (sometimes it takes less time, so watch to make sure they don't burn). Move the vegetables into a small skillet, one with no oil or anything in it. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, on top of the vegetables, and put the lid on, cooking on medium for about 3-5 minutes or until you see the egg start to "bubble" on the top. Remove the lid and flip the egg. The bottom might be a little brown, that is normal. Once the egg is flipped, cook for about 2 more minutes and then take it out. The vegetables should be all in the omelet. I eat this plain but you could also add cheese or put it on bread.

    Another thing I do is make an omelet plain, and while doing that I cut slices of a Granny Smith apple. Pinch a little cinnamon on the apples and microwave or bake on low for about 2 minutes (watch that the slices aren't too thin or they will just dry out). Fill the omelet with the baked apple and you now have an apple cinnamon omelet! MMM!

    Personally, I like onions, mushrooms, sausage and cheese topped with pace picante sauce.

    Oh here's a cooking tip: Instead of trying to flip the half cooked, runny omelette in the pan, turn on the oven broiler for a few minutes and toss it in to cook the top of it. Not only do you not make a mess but it also rises a bit making the eggs lighter and fluffier. Obviously make sure to use an all metal pan. I learned that one off the internet somewhere and it works great!

    I love omelettes. I usually make my omelettes with 1 large egg and 3 egg whites. Some of my favorite combos are

    Spinach and feta
    Shrimp broccoli and garlic
    chicken, mushrooms, garlic and cheddar (50% reduced fat)
    ham and pineapple
    pulled pork, onion, peppers (usually from left overs)
    shaved steak, onions, pepper, and garlic (usually from left overs)
    proscuitto, basil, and mozzerella

    I just had chicken enchilada eggs for breakfast and it was so good! I scrambled them but you could certainly make it omelet style.

    leftover boneless skinless chicken breast
    mexican blend cheese
    enchilada sauce
    sour cream
    eggs of course. :)

    well i do a lot of things... i love to cook a half onion, throw in some Hormel "real" bacon bits, a slice of light american cheese, and a small can of mild green chilis.. I also throw some tomato sauce on that... which i understand u cant have...

    other one i like... sounds weird but protein packed! I scramble in a half cup of fat free cottage cheese & the bacon bits & sunflower nuts... not as weird as it sounds when u think about the fact that a lot of ppl put this on their salads.... just boiled eggs not scramble.

    I don't really make "omelettes" either.. but I only eat the whites... the yolk is just fat & carbs...

    You can put ANYTHING in them u want... any & all veggies.. meats... any sausage, chicken, i've heard of some w fish... yet to try that myself tho... i like chorizo... low fat.... soy... tofu... eggs are super versatile... make it YUMMY TO YOU! :)

    I want to make some stellar omelettes in the morning.
    But the thing is, I don't know what to put in them, other than cheese.

    Actually, I don't even know how to make one.
    But I can make a scrambler! [:

    Note: Allergic to tomatoes.

    How to make an omelet. First you need a good pan that doesnt stick. Take your eggs and add a little milk (opt) and beat them well (this is the key). Then pour into you nonstick pan (might want to spray with Pam or something) salt and pepper, add your cheese (sprinkle all over), I put saluted bell pepper, mushroom, onions, and bacon in mine. add to half the pan then flip the other half over. Some egg might run out. wait a short period and flip again and Wha La you got an omelette.

    there is so many choices as for what to put in it. use your imagination.

    and if you find it too hard to flip over successfully...slide it onto a plate (if the pan is a good non stick one this should be easy) then put the pan on top of the plate and flip it all over...simples! xx

    Okay, this might sound totally weird, but I like pineapple, ham, and cheese .

    Now I just HAVE to try that :bigsmile:

    I love em just full of mushrooms and cheese omnomnom

    Here's a great tip, make the omelette as usual, but instead of trying to flip it and mess it all up, bang the whole pan under the grill for 5 minutes to cook the top. GORGEOUS!

    I love to add a little bit of cheese, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers to my omelets. If I have left over grilled meat from dinner, I'll toss in a little of that too.

    Seeing as that's my favourite way to eat pizza, I should give that a try! :D

    I typically add onions and green chili. Tastes delicious, and isn't too spicy.

    I eat omelettes all the time, too! It seems like my omelettes often end up so full of veggies I can't fold them in half! My typical omelette has tomatoes, green peppers, onion, spinach and mushrooms. If I'm extra hungry I add a slice of pepper-jack cheese and a little turkey.

    Spinach and cheddar
    onions and red pepper, with cheddar
    broccoli and cheddar
    spinach and feta
    tomatoes and onion, with cheddar

    I really like cheese in my omelette...some days that's the main component.
