An egg and cheese omelette is one of the quickest, most satisfying meals you can make. It needs only a few ingredients, cooks in minutes and gives you protein and energy for the day.
Why this omelette works
Eggs cook gently over medium-low heat and stay soft. Cheese melts into the center, so every bite is creamy. The recipe card below lists the ingredients and steps.
Tips for a fluffy omelette
- Whisk well. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until no streaks remain.
- Add a splash of milk or water. About one tablespoon per two eggs makes the texture lighter.
- Use a non-stick pan. Heat it gently and add a little butter or oil.
- Do not overcook. Take the pan off the heat while the top still looks slightly moist. It will finish cooking from the warmth.
- Add the cheese late. Sprinkle it over the center just before folding.
Best cheeses for omelettes
- Cheddar for a sharp, rich flavor
- Mozzarella for a stretchy melt
- Feta for a salty, tangy taste
- Gruyere or Swiss for a nutty flavor
Easy variations
- Add chopped spinach, mushrooms or peppers.
- Add fresh herbs such as parsley, chives or dill.
- For extra protein, add diced ham or cooked chicken.
