Omelette with Cheese is made by cooking beaten eggs in a pan and folding them around cheese. Omelettes have a long place in many cuisines, and this straightforward version is easy to adapt to whatever cheese is on hand.
The eggs set softly, often with a lightly browned outside, while the cheese turns warm and creamy. It works for breakfast or brunch, served with toast, tomatoes or a simple salad; in Turkey, cheese omelettes are also a familiar part of a savoury breakfast spread. It provides protein and is relatively rich in fat. For a lighter plate, use a little cooking oil and pair it with 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.

Beat the eggs, pour them into a lightly buttered or oiled pan over medium-low heat, and let the edges begin to set. Add grated or crumbled cheese, fold the omelette over, and take it off the heat while the center is still soft.
Cheddar, Gruyère, Swiss, and mozzarella all work well in an omelette with cheese. Cheddar gives a familiar sharp flavor, while Gruyère melts smoothly; use a moderate amount so the filling does not overwhelm the eggs or spill out.
Use a nonstick pan, warm it over medium-low heat, and coat the surface with a little butter or oil before adding the eggs. Let the eggs set around the edges before loosening them; high heat can make the bottom stick before the inside cooks.
Add the cheese when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy on top. It will have time to melt as the omelette finishes cooking, without requiring you to overcook the eggs. Shredded cheese melts more evenly than a thick slice.
An omelette with cheese can turn watery if vegetables release moisture or if a wet cheese is added in excess. Cook watery vegetables first to evaporate their liquid, and drain or crumble moist cheese before adding it to the eggs.
For an omelette with cheese that folds neatly, use a flexible spatula and wait until the underside is set while the top remains a little soft. Fold one half over the filling gently, then slide it onto the plate rather than lifting it high.
Yes, you can cook an omelette with cheese ahead, but it tastes best freshly made because reheating can toughen the eggs. If preparing one in advance, refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and reheat it gently until hot throughout.
An omelette with cheese goes well with toast, a green salad, roasted tomatoes, or sautéed mushrooms. For a lighter breakfast or lunch, pair it with fresh fruit or leafy greens instead of adding another rich, cheese-based side.
Yes, mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, and onions pair well with an omelette with cheese. Cook the vegetables before adding the eggs, especially mushrooms and spinach, which release water; this helps the omelette set properly and keeps the cheese filling from becoming soggy.
To make an omelette with cheese fluffy, whisk the eggs until the whites and yolks are fully combined, then cook them gently over medium-low heat. Avoid pressing the omelette down with a spatula, which pushes out the air and makes it denser.
