Ingredients
The Base Omelet Recipe (Serves 1)
- 2-3 fresh eggs
- 1 Tbsp butter or oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk well with salt and pepper until fluffy.
- Heat butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Pour in eggs, tilting the pan so they spread evenly.
- Cook gently, lifting the edges so uncooked egg runs underneath.
- Add fillings on one side, fold over, and let finish cooking for 1–2 minutes.
- Slide onto a plate and serve.
Simple Cheese Omelet
- Filling: A good handful of grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favourite). Stacey’s Tip: Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives to brighten the flavour.
Sausage & Bacon Omelet
- Filling: Cook the sausage with the skins off. Fry it until the sausage meat is fully cooked. Add crispy bacon pieces (and a little cheese if you fancy). Stacey’s Tip: This one is a winner for hungry tummies — serve with buttered toast for the ultimate breakfast.
Veggie Omelet with Tomato, Avocado, Spinach & Basil
- Filling: Diced tomato, sliced avocado, a handful of fresh spinach, and torn basil leaves. Stacey’s Tip: Crumbled feta or parmesan takes this one to the next level.
Notes
Stacey's Kitchen Tip
- Low & Slow: Don’t rush — gentle heat keeps omelets soft, not rubbery.
- Don’t Overload: Too many fillings = tricky folding.
- Whisk Well: More air = fluffier omelet.
- Pre-Cook Fillings: Bacon, sausage, or mushrooms should be cooked first, so the eggs don’t overcook while you wait.
