1 piece (medium) of Omelette with Roast Beef (140 g) has 252 calories. That works out to 180 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.1 g of carbs, 21.7 g of protein, 17.5 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 3.1 µg of B12 covers 128% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 20 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Omelette with Roast Beef combines eggs with thin slices of cooked beef, usually tucked inside a folded omelette. It is a straightforward way to turn leftover roast beef into a substantial breakfast or light meal, rather than a dish tied to one particular national cuisine.
The eggs stay soft while the beef brings a savoury, roasted flavour. Serve it hot for breakfast or brunch, with toast, potatoes or a simple green salad; it also works well as a filling lunch. It is high in protein and makes a satisfying choice when you want a more substantial start to the day. For a lighter plate, pair it with fresh vegetables instead of heavier sides.

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.

To make an omelette with roast beef, cook beaten eggs in a lightly oiled pan and add thin slices of cooked roast beef before folding. Warm the beef briefly rather than frying it for long, which can make the already-cooked meat dry.
An omelette with roast beef needs eggs, thinly sliced cooked roast beef, and seasoning. Cheese, chives, mushrooms, or spinach are common additions; add salt sparingly because roast beef can already be salty.
Yes, roast beef should already be cooked before it goes into an omelette. Add the slices near the end of cooking so they warm through without becoming tough, and make sure the eggs are cooked to your preferred safe doneness.
An omelette with roast beef is usually made with thinly sliced beef that has been roasted and cooked through. Deli-style roast beef also works; cut thicker slices into smaller pieces so they distribute evenly through the eggs.
Yes, cheese works well in an omelette with roast beef. Cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère melt nicely; add the cheese while the eggs are still slightly soft, then fold the omelette so the residual heat melts it.
Serve an omelette with roast beef with toast, a green salad, or sliced tomatoes for a simple meal. For a lighter breakfast, pair it with fruit or vegetables rather than adding more salty processed meat.
You can cook an omelette with roast beef ahead, but it is best freshly made because reheating can toughen the eggs and beef. If storing leftovers, refrigerate them promptly in a covered container and reheat until hot.
Yes, you can freeze an omelette with roast beef, although the eggs may become slightly watery or rubbery after thawing. Cool it promptly, wrap it tightly, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating thoroughly.
An omelette with roast beef can work as a pre-workout breakfast if you have enough time to digest it. Its eggs and beef make it more substantial than a quick carbohydrate snack, so choose a smaller portion or eat it earlier if exercising soon.
Yes, an omelette with roast beef can be eaten during pregnancy when the eggs are fully cooked and the roast beef is heated until steaming hot. Deli meat can carry food-safety risks, so follow your clinician’s pregnancy guidance if you are unsure.
