Omelet with white cheese is made by cooking beaten eggs with crumbled Turkish-style white cheese, a salty, tangy brined cheese. It is usually folded while still tender, with soft pockets of cheese inside and lightly browned edges.
In Turkey, it is a familiar breakfast, often served with bread, sliced tomatoes and cucumber, and tea. Elsewhere, it makes an easy brunch or light meal alongside salad or toast. Eggs and cheese make it protein-rich and satisfying, while also contributing much of its fat. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and cheese, and add fresh vegetables or herbs.

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.

To make an omelet with white cheese, beat the eggs, pour them into a lightly oiled heated pan, and scatter crumbled cheese over the top. Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are just set, then fold and serve.
An omelet with white cheese can be a nourishing meal, providing protein from eggs and cheese and calcium from the cheese. White cheese can also be salty, so choose a less salty variety if you are watching your sodium intake.
An omelet with white cheese can turn watery when the cheese releases moisture or the eggs cook too slowly. Drain especially wet cheese before adding it, and cook the omelet over medium-low heat rather than leaving it over very gentle heat for too long.
Add the white cheese after pouring the beaten eggs into the pan, while the eggs are still soft. This lets the cheese warm through without disappearing into the mixture; scatter it over one half if you want distinct pieces inside a folded omelet.
Use a good nonstick pan and warm a little oil or butter before adding the eggs. Keep the heat moderate, then loosen the edges of the omelet with a thin spatula as they set; high heat can make the eggs stick and brown too quickly.
Yes, you can bake an omelet with white cheese in an oven-safe dish. Whisk the eggs, stir in crumbled cheese, and bake until the center is set; avoid overbaking, which can make the eggs dry and the cheese rubbery.
An omelet with white cheese pairs well with sliced tomatoes, greens, toast, or roasted vegetables. For a fuller breakfast or lunch, add a fresh salad; if the cheese is salty, choose mild sides rather than other salty foods.
Refrigerate leftover omelet with white cheese in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it within a few days. Reheat it gently in a covered pan or microwave until hot; strong heat can make the eggs tough.
Yes, feta works in an omelet with white cheese because it crumbles easily and has a similarly tangy, salty flavor. Since feta can be quite salty, taste the mixture before adding extra salt, and drain it if it is packed in brine.
You can freeze an omelet with white cheese, but the eggs may become rubbery and the cheese can release moisture after thawing. For the best texture, cook it fresh; if freezing leftovers, wrap them tightly and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.
