1 piece (medium) of Omelette (2 eggs) (120 g) has 174 calories. That works out to 145 calories per 100 g. It contains 1.6 g of carbs, 12.6 g of protein, 12.6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 24 µg of Biotin covers 80% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
An omelette made with two eggs is a simple dish of beaten eggs cooked in a pan. Though versions are eaten around the world, the omelette is strongly associated with French cooking; it can be left plain, folded, or filled with ingredients such as herbs, cheese or vegetables.
It is tender and softly set inside, often with a lightly golden surface. In many places it is served for breakfast or brunch, with toast or salad, and makes a quick meal at other times of day too. It provides protein and is very low in carbohydrates. For a lighter plate, use a non-stick pan with just a little cooking fat and add vegetables for extra volume.

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.

For a fluffy two-egg omelette, beat the eggs until evenly combined and cook them over medium-low heat in a preheated pan. Stop cooking while the center is just set; high heat or overcooking makes the omelette dense and dry.
A two-egg omelette usually cooks in a few minutes, depending on the pan and heat. Take it off the stove when the edges are set and the surface is nearly cooked but still slightly soft.
Cheese, sautéed mushrooms, cooked spinach, tomatoes, and herbs all work well in a two-egg omelette. Cook watery vegetables first and use modest amounts of filling so the eggs can set and the omelette folds without tearing.
You do not need to add milk or water to a two-egg omelette; well-beaten eggs cook up tender on their own. A small splash can make the texture softer, but too much liquid can leave the center watery.
To fold a two-egg omelette without breaking it, wait until the bottom is set and the top is still slightly moist. Loosen the edges with a flexible spatula, add filling to one side, then fold gently over it.
Use a clean nonstick pan, preheat it over medium heat, and add a thin coating of butter or oil before pouring in the eggs. Let the edges set before loosening them; trying to move the omelette too early can tear it.
Yes, you can make a two-egg omelette ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container once it has cooled. For the best texture, eat it within a few days and reheat it until hot throughout.
Yes, a two-egg omelette can be frozen, although thawing may make it less tender. Cool it completely, wrap it airtight, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating; omelettes with watery vegetables may become especially soft.
Yes, a two-egg omelette can be a nourishing breakfast, offering protein and useful nutrients from eggs. Pair it with vegetables, whole-grain toast, or fruit for a more varied meal, and go easy on salty or fatty fillings.
Yes, you can cook a two-egg omelette in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Beat the eggs, cover loosely, and heat in short bursts, stirring between them; stop as soon as the eggs are set to avoid a rubbery texture.
