1 piece (medium) of Corn omelette (120 g) has 180 calories. That works out to 150 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.4 g of carbs, 9 g of protein, 9 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 10.8 µg of Biotin covers 36% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Corn omelette is a simple pan-cooked dish of beaten eggs with sweetcorn, often folded while still soft. It is an easy home-style variation rather than a dish with one clear place of origin; fresh, frozen or cooked kernels all work well.
It’s commonly served for breakfast or brunch, with toast, salad or sliced tomatoes, and makes a quick meal at any time of day. Eggs provide protein, while the corn adds carbohydrates and a little fibre. For a more filling plate, pair it with greens or whole-grain bread; for a lighter omelette, use a non-stick pan and just a little cooking oil.

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, fold in drained corn, and pour the mixture into a lightly oiled pan over medium-low heat. Cook until the base is set, then fold the omelette and finish cooking gently so the eggs stay tender.
Yes, canned corn works well in a Corn omelette. Drain it thoroughly before adding it to the eggs, since liquid from the can can make the omelette watery. Rinsing is optional, but useful if the corn tastes especially salty.
Cook fresh corn before adding it to a Corn omelette, so the kernels soften within the short cooking time. Canned corn is already cooked, and thawed frozen corn can go straight in once you have drained away excess water.
Use a well-heated nonstick pan, keep the heat moderate, and wait until the eggs have set around the edges before folding a Corn omelette. Too much corn or watery kernels can weaken the egg mixture and make it tear.
Beat the eggs just until the yolks and whites are combined, then cook the Corn omelette over gentle heat. Avoid pressing it down or cooking it until dry; a lid can help the top set without overcooking the bottom.
Cheddar, feta, and Monterey Jack all pair well with a Corn omelette. Add a modest amount to the eggs or sprinkle it over the surface as it cooks; reduce added salt if you use a salty cheese.
Serve a Corn omelette with a crisp green salad, sliced tomatoes, or toast for a simple meal. Fresh herbs such as chives or cilantro add brightness, while salsa works well if you want a more pronounced, tangy flavor.
You can cook a Corn omelette ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container once it has cooled. For the best texture, eat it the next day and reheat it gently; avoid leaving cooked eggs at room temperature for an extended time.
Yes, a Corn omelette can be frozen, but the eggs may turn firmer and the corn softer after thawing. Cool it fully, wrap it tightly, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating; freshly cooked omelettes usually have a better texture.
Yes, a Corn omelette can make a satisfying breakfast because eggs and corn provide protein and the corn adds fiber. Pair it with fruit or vegetables for a more varied plate, and go easy on added salt and cooking fat.
