Omelette with Eggs & Olive Oil is a simple omelette made by cooking beaten eggs in olive oil and folding them over. It is a familiar home-cooked dish rather than a preparation tied to one particular region, and it fits easily into breakfast, brunch or a quick meal. Across Mediterranean kitchens, olive oil is a common choice for the pan; elsewhere, the omelette is just as easy to make with everyday ingredients.
Serve it warm while the centre is tender and the surface lightly golden, with toast, salad or cooked vegetables. It provides protein and has very little carbohydrate, while the olive oil contributes much of its fat. For a lighter version, use just enough oil to coat the pan and pair the omelette with vegetables or fresh greens.

To make an omelette with eggs and olive oil, beat the eggs, warm a little oil in a pan, then pour in the eggs. Cook over medium-low heat until the edges set, then fold. Taking it off while slightly soft helps keep it tender.
Use a clean, sound nonstick pan and let it warm before adding the olive oil and eggs. Wait for the edges of the omelette with eggs and olive oil to set before loosening them; trying to move it too early often makes it tear.
No, high heat can brown the outside before the center sets and can make an omelette with eggs and olive oil tough. Cook it over medium-low heat and remove it while the center is just set.
Yes, you can whisk a small splash of milk into an omelette with eggs and olive oil for a softer texture. It is optional, and adding too much can make the eggs watery rather than fluffy.
Yes, extra-virgin olive oil works well for an omelette with eggs and olive oil when cooked over moderate heat. Its flavor can come through clearly, so choose it if you enjoy a more pronounced olive taste.
Cheese, cooked mushrooms, spinach, peppers, and herbs all work well in an omelette with eggs and olive oil. Cook watery vegetables first and drain off excess liquid so the filling does not prevent the eggs from setting.
No, an omelette with eggs and olive oil is not necessarily a Spanish tortilla. A Spanish tortilla traditionally includes potatoes and is cooked as a thicker, round dish, while an omelette is usually thinner and folded.
Yes, an omelette with eggs and olive oil can be served flat instead of folded. Keep it over gentle heat until the top is nearly set, or briefly cover the pan to help the surface cook through.
An omelette with eggs and olive oil keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking, and reheat it until hot throughout before eating.
Yes, you can freeze an omelette with eggs and olive oil, but its texture may become watery or rubbery after thawing. For best results, freeze individual portions in an airtight container and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.
