Lisa are you a diabetic ? it does not say. Please have a go because very few carbs in it & reasonably healthy.
 
Lisa, you could mix your filling with some chipotle paste for a nice kick. Thats what i am planning for my next omelette. Am also thinking about adding some grated cheese and folding the omelette and make-believing its a quesadilla. I miss quesadillas.
 
I put ham, mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese.

I often make "Spanish" style omelettes with left over cooked vegetables e.g. cauliflower, broccoli, green beans (chopped up a bit), slices of cooked sausage, bits of bacon, bits of chicken. I make a nice thick one with 6-8 eggs the night before. In fridge over night when cold, otherwise it gets wet, slice like a cake, and take it with me if I need to take a packed lunch anywhere, as well as eaten for a meal whatever time of day. It helps if when it fridge it is first covered with kitchen paper to absorb any condensation.

Lillian. Do you eat the whole thing the next day? How many eggs are we allowed? (Yep I am new to all this)
 
No, @Granny72, not all at once in those proportions, although it also depends on how much filling. But I can eat half. Obviously you can change the proportions but it is more substantial done thick (perhaps a smaller pan), than thin slices. Do not be frightened of eating eggs (unless you have a medical condition which limits them), they are a good source of protein and fat. In my case they are one of the foods where my body sets it's own limit. Don't forget the variety of herbs and spices that can be used with it as well.
 
Lillian, I really like the sound of your use of omelette for pasta dishes. While I still prefer and eat wholewheat pasta in small portions, the idea of a savoury substitute ( away from the usual veggie alternatives ) sounds good.
 
Anybody tried to make an omelette the Spanish way? I used to have Spanish land-lady but could never emulate the way she made it.:(
 
Potatoes are the issue with Spanish omelettes I would guess, as they are a principal ingredient of Frittata. The main purpose of us diabetics having omelettes is that it is a very low carb meal. Once you add potatoes, it doesn't have that benefit anymore.
