1 piece (medium) of Herb Cheese Omelette (120 g) has 222 calories. That works out to 185 calories per 100 g. It contains 2.6 g of carbs, 13.8 g of protein, 17 g of fat and 0.6 g of fiber. Its 21.6 µg of Biotin covers 72% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A herb cheese omelette is a simple pan-cooked dish of beaten eggs folded around cheese and chopped fresh herbs. The herbs might be parsley, chives or dill, while the cheese can vary with the cook and what is on hand; it is a familiar home-style combination rather than a dish tied to one precise recipe.
Its tender middle, lightly golden outside and savoury, creamy filling make it an easy breakfast or light meal. In Turkey, it is often served hot with bread and tea; elsewhere, it works just as well with toast or a crisp salad. It offers protein along with very little carbohydrate. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of cheese and add extra herbs or fresh vegetables.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Whisk the eggs just until combined, then stir in chopped herbs and crumbled cheese. Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered, preheated pan over medium-low heat. When the edges are set, fold the omelette and cook until the center is no longer runny.
Feta gives a herb cheese omelette a salty, crumbly filling, while cheddar or Gruyère melts into a smoother one. Use a cheese that complements rather than overwhelms the herbs, and taste it before adding salt because some cheeses are already quite salty.
Chives, parsley, and dill pair especially well with the egg and cheese in a herb cheese omelette. Tarragon or basil gives it a more distinctive flavor. Chop fresh herbs finely and dry them after washing so they do not add excess moisture.
Dry the herbs thoroughly and drain wet cheese before adding them to a herb cheese omelette. Cook it over moderate heat rather than rushing it over high heat; that lets the eggs set without releasing excess moisture or overcooking the outside.
Use a well-seasoned nonstick pan and coat its surface with a little butter or oil before adding the eggs. Let the edges of the herb cheese omelette set before loosening them with a thin spatula; moving it too soon can tear it.
Cook a herb cheese omelette until its underside is set but the top is still slightly soft, then slide a spatula under one half and fold it over. Avoid overfilling it with cheese, which makes the fold heavy and more likely to split.
Yes, you can bake a herb cheese omelette mixture in a small oven-safe dish, although the result will be thicker and more like a crustless quiche. Grease the dish, add the egg, herbs, and cheese, and bake until the center is set.
Refrigerate leftover herb cheese omelette promptly in a covered container and eat it within three to four days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until steaming hot throughout; discard it if it was left at room temperature for too long.
Yes, but freezing can make a herb cheese omelette less tender and slightly watery after thawing. Cool it completely, wrap individual portions tightly, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly in a covered pan or microwave.
A herb cheese omelette goes well with toast, a simple green salad, or sliced tomatoes. For brunch, add roasted potatoes or sautéed mushrooms; for a lighter plate, serve it with fresh vegetables and skip heavier sides.
