Omelette fillings?

[Robin]

dry fry? sorry I was never keen on mushrooms before so I have no clue about them

Well, I always slice them and fry them in a bit of butter, because they taste so much better. Mushroom on its own is a bit boring!

Add a bit of mayo to your mixture, gives it a nice lift, also I use cream instead of milk 🙂 decadent aren't I

Chopped sausage and onion omelette. You could use spring onions and some little tomatoes.

I also like prawn omelettes and add a dash of soy sauce. Tastes like Chinese Foo Yung if you do that especially with some bean sprouts and peas thrown in.

Blimey there's loads of ideas on here I'm going to try lol! Cheers for thread @Kaylz

Omelets are just so versatile, great vehicle for carrying just about anything you can think of, one of the variations my wife likes is Spinach & feta cheese, I really like onion ham & pepper (Denver)

I thought peppers and onion were carby? not keen on peppers anyway lol, would give mushrooms a bash what kind are best to use? x

Only relative to other vegetables, but they aren't really carby unless you're trying to do Atkins or something? I would never dream of avoiding onions and you can develop a taste for most things that are good for you if you experiment with new ways of preparing them. For example I was never that keen on the green variety of peppers but roasted with sea salt they are now a favourite.

Always add pepper to my eggs! haha, got chives in the fridge so might just cut up a few of those too x

Oh yes chives are a MUST in an omelette - I forgot to mention those.
@Amigos choice of omelettes in particular, sounds very tasty indeed 😛 x

Right that's it - now that we've been discussing different variations of omelettes - I know exactly what I'm cooking for my evening meal tonight! 3 guesses! 😛

Sausage and onion omelette, yum

I know you said no more cheese, but as a really lazy omelette addition, Primula cheese spread (ham / chives / shrimp variety) works well - squeeze over partially cooked eggs, cutting off 1cm sections with a knife.

That sounds delicious Copepod, I must try this - I'm always up to trying something different x

Chorizo gives it a lovely taste and colour. Shame sobrasada isn't widely available over here.

I want to eat this Slimming World recipe...sounds yummy. 😛 I'd use full fat cheese though.

ingredients

• 3 eggs, separated
• 75g reduced fat plain soft cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 50g smoked salmon trimmings, roughly chopped
• A small handful each of fresh dill and chives, finely chopped, reserving a few chives to garnish
• Low calorie cooking spray

method

1. Whisk the egg yolks and cream cheese until smooth, then season well. Add the smoked salmon and herbs and stir. In a large, clean glass bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric hand whisk on a medium speed until they form soft peaks when the blades are lifted.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Spray a small, ovenproof frying pan with low calorie cooking spray, then place over a medium-high heat. Using a large metal spoon, quickly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites, then pour into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Loosen the edges with a palette knife and grill for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the omelette to a plate, scatter over the reserved chives and serve.

I used to cook omelettes this way - haven't done so for a long time - will do your recipe tho, sounds tasty. x

Chorizo - Either slice it thinly, or chop it into lardon sized chunks. Dry fry it, or the tiniest amount of oil in your omelette pan and render it down a bit. As it cooks it will release some fabulous orange coloured paprika oil. Add your eggy mixture and cook as usual.

Your omelette will pick up some colour from the oil and the chorizo brings a delicious taste. It is also delicious with some cold, leftover chicken meat too. If I do that, I render down the chorizo, then add the chicken meat to heat through before adding the eggs.

Hi @booo266 🙂

Thanks I don't do omelette for brekkie anymore as this post is 2 years old but I do have them for tea 3 nights a week, that recipe would leave me hungry though lol, I'm a 3 egg, 2 large flat mushrooms and a corned beef kinda lass haha

Whatever sort of mushrooms you like. I use small button ones, because they don't turn everything brown. You need to fry them off to evaporate most of the liquid, otherwise the omelette goes a bit soggy.
Onion and pepper in the quantities you'd have in an omelette aren't that carby, 25g onion is 2.2g of carb, and red pepper is 1.8 carb for quarter of a medium sized one.

I didn’t know this I’ve been putting onions and peppers in everything to bulk it out I love peppers I’ve been eating a whole one chopped up in salads
