1 piece (medium) of Vegetable cheese omelette (180 g) has 261 calories. That works out to 145 calories per 100 g. It contains 7.6 g of carbs, 17.5 g of protein, 16.6 g of fat and 2.2 g of fiber. Its 32.4 µg of Biotin covers 108% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A vegetable cheese omelette combines eggs with mushrooms, green and red peppers, spring onion and cherry tomatoes, finished with cheese. In this version, the cheese is kaşar, a mild Turkish semi-hard cheese that melts into the eggs. It is a home-style combination rather than a dish with one fixed recipe.
Serve it hot, folded around the vegetables, for breakfast or a quick lunch; bread and a simple salad make easy accompaniments. The eggs and cheese make it a protein-rich choice, while the vegetables add some fibre and freshness. For a lighter plate, use a little less cheese and oil and let the vegetables take up more of the filling.

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.

Cook chopped mushrooms, peppers and spring onion in a lightly oiled pan until tender, then pour in beaten eggs. When the eggs are nearly set, add grated cheese, fold the omelette and cook briefly until the cheese melts.
Yes, sauté mushrooms, peppers and spring onion before adding the eggs. This softens them and cooks off excess moisture, helping the vegetable cheese omelette set properly instead of turning watery in the middle.
A mild, easy-melting cheese works best in a vegetable cheese omelette because it complements the vegetables without overpowering them. Grate it and add it near the end of cooking, so it melts inside the folded omelette rather than sticking to the pan.
Use a clean nonstick pan, warm it over medium-low heat and coat the surface lightly with oil or butter before adding the eggs. Let the vegetable cheese omelette set at the edges before folding; trying to move it too early can tear it.
You can cook a vegetable cheese omelette ahead, but it tastes best freshly made. For a quicker breakfast, chop and sauté the vegetables in advance, refrigerate them in a covered container, then cook them with freshly beaten eggs and cheese when needed.
It can: fresh tomato releases water as it cooks, especially when there is a lot of it. Use a modest amount of chopped cherry tomato, or sauté it first and let the liquid evaporate before adding the eggs to the vegetable cheese omelette.
Yes, a vegetable cheese omelette makes a protein-rich breakfast, and its mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes add vegetables to the meal. Pair it with whole-grain toast or fruit if you want a more substantial breakfast.
Keep a cooked vegetable cheese omelette in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within three days. Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.
Reheat a vegetable cheese omelette gently in a covered pan over low heat, or use short bursts in the microwave. High heat makes the eggs tough; add a few drops of water to the pan if the omelette seems dry.
Yes, frozen vegetables can work in a vegetable cheese omelette, but thaw and drain them first. Cook them in the pan until excess moisture has evaporated before adding the eggs, or the omelette may turn wet and take longer to set.
