Tips
Omelets are a good source of protein, so they are ideal for low carbohydrate or high protein diets. However, they can be high in cholesterol and calories. There are approximately 721 calories in an omelet with cheese (100g), fried with butter. Substitute skim mozzarella or feta cheese for cheddar. Try using canola oil or olive oil while frying. To further reduce the cholesterol content, use egg whites instead of the whole egg. You can also try adding tofu to the omelet.

Tips
- Use mushrooms, tomatoes, and fresh herbs in your omelet to add a rich vegetable taste.
- For a spicy flavor, add jalapeños or chillies.
- Use different cheeses like feta or mozzarella in your omelet. For a creamy taste, try Brie or cream cheese.
- For fluffy omelets, hold a fork parallel to the eggs and whip the surface. The more air in the omelet, the fluffier.
- Prepare the ingredients beforehand. Grate the cheese and chop the vegetables in advance because omelets cook fast.
- 7 or 8 inch skillets or pans are best for omelet making.
- Let the pan heat before pouring in the eggs.
