Quick and easy to make, cheap, can be eaten as a light meal or with a few chips/jacket potato for a more substantial meal.
I just had a cheese one with some salad, Mmmmm.

I Love an omelette!
Mushroom and cheese ones are yum.

YANBU at all. Love a spinach omlette or cheese and onion, or with peppers. So versatile.

I always forget how nice and easy an omelette is!

I live an omelette to use up the last bits of stuff in the fridge. Half an onion? One rasher of bacon? A few ropey looking tomatoes and a small square of cheese? No problem!

yanbu, they’re great

I could live on omelettes (and sometimes do)

My fave is a tuna and cheese omelette. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I have an omelette most days. They fill you up for ages as well.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 03/06/2022 13:22

Is that you, Gwen?

MistyRuins · 03/06/2022 13:22

I much prefer a Spanish omelette or frittata, but if you are including them in the mix yanbu at all.

Fines herbes - chopped chives, parsley and tarragon - is really nice.

Spinach mushroom and onion omelettes here for lunch 😊

emmeline7725 · 03/06/2022 13:33

I am eating a ham, cheese and tomato omelette right now. And it's very nice!

itsgettingweird · 03/06/2022 13:34

Omelettes are fab.

My favourite is with red intron, red peppers and cheese.

itsgettingweird · 03/06/2022 13:35

Onion!

ARL0 · 03/06/2022 13:36

My favourite is salmon, tomato and courgette with some grated mozzarella on top.
Salmon has such a strong favour you only need small amount.

Big omelette fan here. Probably have one at least once a week. Quick and easy to make when I get home from work tired. They're versatile, healthy and filling what's not to love?

ilovesooty · 03/06/2022 13:45

I eat omelette a lot. I like cheese and chives or ham and mushrooms.

Butchyrestingface · 03/06/2022 13:46

I had a plain omelette this morning.

3 eggs though.
It was nice.
Might have another tomorrow, hey ho.

MasterOfOne · 03/06/2022 13:47

Bacon, mushroom and cheese omelette is heavenly!

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 03/06/2022 13:51

DH makes lovely omelettes. I miss DM’s Spanish omelette - she’s still around but doesn’t cook much now sadly.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/06/2022 13:52

Yanbu

But yabu to eat them with a jacket potato - that sounds a really weird combination.

SAB10 · 03/06/2022 13:52

I love omelettes! So versatile, can be as healthy or not as you want (I love them with spinach and mushroom and other assorted veg, but also love cheese and bacon 😍). I may have one for lunch now...

NutellaCrumpet1 · 03/06/2022 13:53

Bacon and spinach is my fav.

ExitChasedByABee · 03/06/2022 13:54

My people! I love omelettes!! 😍

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 03/06/2022 13:55

Oh god, I hate omelettes. The thought of them makes me bilious.

And don't get me started on those Japanese style ones that are cut open
