With our basic recipe and step-by-step photos, you’ll be on your way to delicious results in no time.


Tool box

The simple utensils needed for omelets are essential to any well-stocked kitchen:

• 8-inch nonstick skillet
• silicone spatula

Filling options:

While cheese is traditional, you can fill an omelet with just about anything. Substitute any of these combos for the Gruyère in the basic recipe (aim for about 1/4 cup filling per omelet).

• Crumbled goat cheese, sautéed shallots, and chopped fresh thyme
• Grated Emmenthal, sautéed mushrooms, and sautéed spinach
• Caramelized onions, cooked bacon, and chopped fresh marjoram
• Grated aged Gouda and lightly cooked asparagus thinly sliced on the diagonal
