Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined, then pour them into a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Cook until the edges set, fold the omelet, and continue cooking until the center is no longer runny.
You can add a small splash of milk for a softer texture, but it is not necessary. Too much liquid can make a Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet watery and slow to set in the pan.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, then cook the Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet over medium-low heat. Avoid pressing it down or stirring constantly; high heat can make the eggs set quickly and turn dense.
A Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet usually turns rubbery when it is cooked too long or over high heat. Take it off the pan as soon as the eggs are set, since residual heat will continue cooking it briefly.
Use a clean nonstick pan and spread a thin coating of oil across its surface before adding the eggs. Let the pan warm over moderate heat, but do not let it get so hot that the eggs set instantly.
Folding is usually easier than flipping a Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet. Once the underside is set and the top is nearly cooked, slide a spatula underneath and fold it over; flipping is more likely to tear it.
Cook watery vegetables, such as mushrooms or tomatoes, before adding them to a Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet. Drain or cook off their excess liquid, and use a modest amount of filling so the eggs can set properly.
Yes, cheese works well in a Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet. Add crumbled or grated cheese after the eggs begin to set so it can melt inside; taste before adding salt if the cheese is already salty.
You can cook a Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container, but it tastes best freshly made. Reheat leftovers until hot throughout; expect the eggs to be less tender than when first cooked.
A Three-Egg Low-Oil Omelet can fit into a weight-loss meal because its protein may help you feel satisfied, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Pair it with vegetables and keep calorie-dense toppings and sides modest.

A three-egg low-oil omelet is made by cooking beaten eggs in a pan with just a little oil. It is a simple home-cooked breakfast, though it also works as a quick lunch or light supper. The eggs can be cooked plain or folded around herbs and vegetables.
Expect a tender centre and a lightly browned outside. Serve it with toast, salad or sliced tomatoes; in many places, it is an easy way to make a filling meal from everyday ingredients. It is high in protein and very low in carbohydrates. For a lighter plate, pair it with vegetables, and use a good non-stick pan so you need little oil.
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.
