Tips for making the recipe

  1. Make sure your eggs are fresh. Drop them in a bowl of water, if they sink to the bottom they are fresh and good to use, discard any that float to the top.
  2. Use a non-stick skillet. Cheese getting stuck is no joke! If you use a good non-stick skillet, you won’t need to spray it with any oil.
  3. Beat together the eggs really well. This will ensure an even texture throughout.
  4. Don’t add more eggs. Omelettes are meant to be single serve, if you add more than two eggs they will be tricky to cook all the way through and you risk burning the cheese.

  1. Hi Yumna! hope your day is going well. The first time I made this it was absolutely amazing! however, I’ve made it several times since and the cheese always sticks to the pan and burns (still delicious). I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong and I wonder if this happens to anyone else.

    1. So glad you enjoyed the recipe! One reason the cheese might be sticking to the pan is too high heat.

  2. Delicious!! I tried this omelette today and my kids said it tasted like pizza! 😂 I added basil to the tomatoes! Thanks for the recipe!

      1. Life changing! Made a green chili & mozzarella omelet this morning using this method. Only making omelets this way now 😉
