How many eggs for an omelette?

[TeensyTiny]

I use 2 but I've just seen someone make an omelette for themselves, 1 person, with 6 😶

How many do you use?

2 for a child. 3 for an adult

A whole cherry tomato and a whole mushroom EACH?! Pure gluttony.

2 usually, but 3 if I'm REALLY hungry.

Depends on the size of the pan, surely?

6 - but I have it a meal not just a snack and normally right after a workout

Yes.

2 or 3 depending. If it’s just a plain omelette then 3, if I put spinach and cheese in it, 2.

2 eggs per person

Weirdly for omelettes 2 is enough for me but for scrambled eggs I need 3 to feel properly full.

They're chunky! I'm not cooking for Gordon Ramsay so I'm not bothered about the technical definition of an omelette. Now, if Gordon walks in and starts screaming at me about it, I might change my mind! 😄

One whole with 2 additional egg whites

Same

Eggs definitely disappear when you scramble them. 2 boiled eggs seems plenty, 2 scrambled eggs seems like a total waste of time.

Surely that depends on your pan? 🤔

Two in a small pan, after frying off a green pepper, some chilli and a spring onion. A little cheese then folded over. Served with toast. Food of the gods.

2 for me, and I do like my food! I definitely couldnt eat a 6 egg omelette and would struggle to eat a 3 egg omelette. However for scrambled eggs at least 3, and sometimes 4 - they don't seem to go as far.

I also find that with potatoes.... you need more for mash than you do for roasted or boiled. Anyone else?

Two, but I tend to eat them for breakfast or lunch rather than dinner.

It dpends on the size of the eggs, if they're from a mixed size box 3 or 4. Extra large are signifiantly bigger so normally 2.

Depends how big you want the omelette 🤷‍♀️ When my brother in law was about 14 his budgie laid an egg and he made an omelette out of it…according to DH it was tiny and would have barely fed a Barbie 😂

2 is my standard number of eggs for omelette, scrambled eggs.

Not only would 6 be too many for me, doesn’t it make the omelette horribly thick? I’m trying to imagine my folded over cheesy omelette being 3 times as thick and it doesn’t appeal at all.

3 or it's too thin!

I’m guessing you’d use a bigger pan for a 6 egg omelette than for one with fewer eggs so it would potentially be the same thickness as one with 3?

I’m a bit rubbish at making them so I only have them rarely and use 2 eggs.

Two if for breakfast, three if for dinner with a salad. Added bits are usually some type of onion/shallots/spring onion and a cheese. Occasionally mushrooms and potato.

Extra large eggs because my hens are a bit old now.

No bread or toast. DH only ever has 2 eggs in his, but with two pieces of thick toast.

2 large eggs pr person

3 eggs per omelette or 1 egg and 3 egg whites
