This Delicious and Easy Dinner Omelet for Two Takes Just 20 Minutes (2024)

There are no rules for omelet fillings! Making one can be a great way to use up leftover cooked veggies, bits and pieces of raw veggies, small chunks of cheese, the last slices of ham, and even cooked grains like quinoa or barley. Use our egg base and choose from these tasty ideas:

• Green omelet: Use a mixture of zucchinis, green peppers, spinach, white onions, and kale as your vegetable base and top with a generous amount of grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano.
• Red omelet: Use a mixture of halved cherry tomatoes, red peppers, chili flakes, chopped radicchio, and red onions as your vegetable base and top with a couple of slices of fresh mozzarella.
• Meaty omelet: Use a mixture of sweet onions and red and green peppers as your vegetable base and add cooked sausage, bacon, or cubed ham. Top with shredded cheddar.
• Cheesy Omelet: Use a simple mixture of onions and peppers as your vegetable base and add generous amounts—1/2 to 3/4 cup—of the cheese of your choice. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Gruyere, Swiss, Colby, or even goat's cheese goes great with eggs. Serve with a fresh green salad.
• Grain Omelet: Use a mixture of onions, zucchini, kale, and chili flakes as your vegetable base. Stuff the omelet with cooked and seasoned quinoa, farro, or barley. Fold and serve with a side of ricotta.
• Faux Spanish tortilla omelet: Use 1/2 cup of cooked potatoes and onions as your vegetable base. Add the eggs and let the omelet set a little further than usual so it browns on the bottom. Flip and let cook for 1 minute. Fold and serve with a mini charcuterie display of ham, olives, and cubed Manchego cheese.
