Omelettes are a quick and easy way to make regular scrambled eggs more delicious and substantial.

And the things you can stuff into the eggs are absolutely limitless.

Ham and cheese, corned beef and potatoes, and mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes – the list goes on and on.

If you’re looking for creative spins on the classic breakfast dish, I have you covered. Let’s get scrambling.

1. Classic Denver Omelette

Start your weekend with a bang with the classic Denver omelette.

Pillowy scrambled eggs are stuffed with smoked ham, melted cheddar cheese, sweet bell peppers, and onions.

Ahh… this is what breakfast dreams are made of! It tastes just like pizza but in omelette form, and it is awesome.

The dish is primarily savory, but you’ll also get some sweet crunch from the bell peppers.

2. Diner-Style Ham and Cheese Omelette

Nothing beats the comfort that a classic ham and cheese omelette gives.

The ham and cheese oozing inside of the omelette is just pure satisfaction. The added herbs in the eggs take it to the next level.

This is more than just comfort food. It’s a giant hug, a shoulder to cry on, and your most avid cheerleader. That’s how much it can uplift your spirits.

3. Spanish Omelette

This version, called tortilla, includes chopped brown onions and diced potatoes. Muy bien, indeed.

It’s like scrambled eggs meeting hash browns, and the resulting mash-up is beautiful.

The potatoes give the omelette such a lovely, fluffy, and chewy texture. And it makes the dish extra-hearty, too. What more can you ask for?

4. Spinach Feta Omelette

If you want a healthy approach to omelettes, this recipe has your name on it.

Spinach and feta join forces to make basic scrambled eggs egg-ceptionally delicious. It makes omelettes super healthy without sacrificing flavor.

Of course, you’re free to add whatever veggies you have on hand, but this omelette is already spectacular with just the feta and spinach.

Chives are optional, but they’re highly recommended.

5. Greek Omelette

How about a Mediterranean twist? This Greek omelette is as bright and refreshing as can be with tomatoes, feta, and black olives.

You’ll love the vibrant colors, but you’ll enjoy the flavors and textures even more.

From the sweet tomatoes to the creamy feta to the salty olives, this omelette houses different flavors, but somehow, they all work together to create the perfect bite.

6. Mushroom and Sun-Dried Tomato Omelette

Earthy mushrooms and sweet and chewy sun-dried tomatoes are tucked inside fluffy scrambled eggs.

As a fan of the sweet and salty flavor profile, this omelette is definitely one of my favorite.

Besides the flavor combination, I also can’t get enough of the textures! I love how the filling gives the omelette different textural dimensions.

7. Easy Tomato Omelette

This omelette is stuffed with sweet cherry tomatoes, stringy mozzarella, and fresh basil.

If the roster of ingredients sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the same ones needed to make a pizza Margherita.

That said, you already know that the flavors work well together.

Imagine this dish to be just like a Margherita, only, instead of being topped on a crust, they’re all nestled inside fluffy scrambled eggs.

8. Loaded Grilled Hash Brown Omelette

Can’t decide between hash browns and scrambled eggs?

Just cook them together in one skillet, and boom, you’ll have a phenomenal morning meal.

While the two are the primary components of this dish, it’s more than just shredded potatoes and eggs.

The egg and spud mixture serves as a crispy outer crust that houses a variety of fillings, such as mushrooms, peppers, ham, cheese, and onions.

In short, expect nothing but mouthwatering greatness.

9. World’s Best Vegetarian Omelette

Just because you’re a vegetarian doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the omelette fun! Hello vegetarian readers, this one’s for you.

This omelette (which is actually more like a frittata, but who cares) is bursting with red peppers, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cheddar cheese.

Because there’s no egg-flipping and folding involved, it couldn’t be any easier to make. Just throw all the ingredients into the skillet and you’re all set.

10. Chili, Cheese, and Bacon Omelette

Bacon is the solution to all of life’s woes. One bit of this bacon omelette will prove my point.

It’s too bad that bacon is high in cholesterol and calories, but when it comes to cheering you up, it won’t disappoint.

That’s why this omelette is one of my go-to breakfast dishes when I’m not feeling 100%.

Aside from the bacon, it’s also packed with melted cheese and chili, just to give it a mild kick.

11. Simple Cheese Omelette

This cheese omelette might be simple, but it sure hits the spot.

Melty cheddar (or mozzarella) is the main feature of this omelette, but its other components also deserve the spotlight.

Onions and bell peppers give it some sweetness and crunch, while chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala give it such bold, wonderful flavors.

All together, they make the omelette simply irresistible.

12. Brie and Bacon Omelette

Bacon and cheese are two of my favorite things in the world. Put them together, and I’ll just go insane.

This is exactly what this recipe does. Brie and bacon together in one? This is the omelette of my dreams!

The melted, ooey-gooey cheese plus the sweet, salty, smoky, and crunchy bacon make this omelette earth-shatteringly delicious.

I refuse to eat just one serving.

13. Bacon Lobster Omelette

Whether you’re hosting a fancy brunch and want to impress or just looking for a special breakfast dish for the family, this bacon lobster omelette will not disappoint.

I mean, it’s bacon and lobster, so how can it not taste ridiculously awesome?

As if those two aren’t good enough, this omelette is also loaded with Parmesan, tomatoes, and onions.

14. Meat Lovers Baked Omelette

This omelette casserole is as scrumptious and filling as can be.

Packed with bacon, breakfast sausage, ham, cheese, and onions, this omelette has it all.

Three kinds of meat in one omelette? I won’t say no to that!

The best part? Since it’s a casserole, it’s a lot easier to make than a regular omelette.

Just dump the ingredients in a dish and let the oven take care of the rest.

15. Kale and Cheese Omelette

If you’re looking to add roughage to your meal, this kale and cheese omelette is for you.

Kale is a great source of vitamins and nutrients, but let’s be honest, no one wants to eat kale on its own!

The best way to add it to your diet is to incorporate it into an omelette.

Mixed with ooey-gooey cheese, even the kids won’t be able to notice the leaves.

16. Cheesy Mushroom and Spinach Omelette

Give your breakfast or brunch an air of sophistication with this cheese, mushroom, and spinach omelette.

The combination of earthy cremini mushrooms, melted gruyere or Swiss cheese, and bright spinach leaves make this omelette extra classy and delicious.

It’s so good it tastes as if it came straight out of a 5-star restaurant! No one has to know it takes only 13 minutes to make.

17. Prosciutto, Parmesan, and Rosemary Omelette

While I’m a sucker for bacon, I also won’t say no to a delicious prosciutto.

This salty and smoky cold cut was put on this earth to make it a better place.

Think of this dish as a classy spin on the classic ham and cheese omelette. Instead of ham, you’ll use prosciutto, and instead of cheddar, you’ll use Parmigiano-Reggiano.

This upgrade is the perfect dish to serve if you’re looking to impress.

18. Shrimp Omelette

Transform your eggs from dull to divine with shrimp!

This is a Chinese-inspired recipe that flavors the eggs with oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and Shaoxing cooking wine.

Besides the shrimp, the omelette is also filled with red onion slices and scallions.

All together, they create the most wonderful flavor explosion! What an awesome way to start the day.

19. Chicken Omelette

Don’t dispose of that leftover rotisserie chicken just yet.

You can transform the stale and dry bird from yesterday’s dinner to this morning’s delightful breakfast.

Add chopped tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella cheese to the mix and your omelette is complete!

It’s the perfect way to repurpose leftovers.

20. Tex-Mex Omelette With Roasted Cherry Tomato Salsa

Give the traditional omelette a colorful, Tex-Mex twist with salsa, beans, and tortilla chips.

From the presentation to the flavor, this omelette gets an A+.

Stuffed with black beans, crushed tortilla chips, and melted Jack cheese, this omelette is a great way to start your Taco Tuesday.

Top it off with a refreshing salsa and you’re golden.

21. Loaded Mediterranean Omelette

Here’s another Mediterranean omelette that’ll surely delight your palate.

Flavored with milk, paprika, and allspice, the scrambled eggs themselves are already pretty epic.

The toppings are what make it extra-special, though.

I’m talking cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, feta, and mint and parsley for garnish. This omelette is the good in good morning!

22. Broccoli and Cheese Omelette

If you want to add some nutrition to your kids’ diets, this omelette is your ultimate weapon.

It’s stuffed with broccoli, but the melty Swiss cheese will easily mask that vegetal flavor. Trust me, the kids won’t even notice the broccoli!

Oh, and it gets bonus points for being low-carb and low-calorie, too.

23. Smoked Salmon Omelette

Smoked salmon is awesome. I try to incorporate this outrageously delicious protein in as many dishes as I can.

That’s why coming across this omelette recipe is like finding gold for me.

This omelette is stuffed with smoked salmon, capers, and Creme Fraiche, and garnished with chives, to boot.

To say it’s over-the-top delicious is an understatement.

FAQs

What is the secret to a perfect omelette? ›

Whisking air into the eggs is one secret to a fluffy omelet. Also, if you cook the omelet in a pan that's too large for the number of eggs used, it will naturally be flatter. On the other hand, you don't want to overload a small pan. This only increases the time needed to cook the eggs and can lead to a rubbery omelet.

Why are IHOP omelettes so fluffy? ›

The secret to super fluffy IHOP omelets is… buttermilk pancake batter. For what it's worth, the IHOP menu does indicate in small text at the top of the page that their omelets contain pancake batter, but such a detail can go unnoticed by even the most dedicated IHOP eaters.

Is water or milk better for omelette? ›

If you want a lighter (not lighter in calories) and fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water to the eggs which will create steam as it cooks. Or if you want a richer omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream.

Do you flip an omelette before adding cheese? ›

If you are making a cheese omelet add the egg right away and the cheese goes on/in after you've flipped the omelet.

Do you cook omelette fillings first? ›

The first step in making an omelette is deciding on and properly preparing the filling. It's important that whatever you're filling your omelette with is already cooked if necessary, as it will not have time to cook in the pan.

Do you cook omelette on high or low heat? ›

The key to the perfect omelette is cooking low and slow! So heat the oil or butter over medium-low heat, then pour the egg mixture into an even layer. Turn the heat to low, and let it cook without poking or prodding for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the good stuff.

What vegetables go good in an omelette? ›

Veggies: Use any vegetables you want. I'm using, red onions, red peppers, mushrooms and baby spinach. Diced red onions are great because they add a sweetness and a bit of a crunch. Sliced mushrooms add a hearty taste and texture to the dish.

What is a Nova omelette? ›

Do restaurants put pancake batter in omelets? ›

It is marked that the Omelettes contain wheat and gluten as they are made with a splash of Buttermilk Pancake batter to create a light, fluffy Omelette. The same batter is also used in our Burritos and Bowls. The Scrambled Eggs do not contain Buttermilk Pancake batter.

What is the secret ingredient for tender fluffy omelets at IHOP? ›

IHOP's Secret to the Fluffiest Egg Omelet

That's right, there's a “splash” of IHOP's “famous buttermilk and wheat pancake batter” in their omelets. This “spill,” revealed earlier this year on TikTok, was both enlightening and enraging.

How do restaurants get omelets so fluffy? ›

It's an old diner trick. The mixer whips air into the egg mix and when poured, immediately, into a hot pan, the eggs will soufflé, or become fluffy. You can easily replicate this at home with a blender. Just whip your eggs in a blender while your omelette pan is heating.

Do you cook the filling in an omelette first? ›

Omelettes cook fast—far too fast for fillings to do much beyond warm up a bit. So the key to great filled omelettes is to cook your fillings beforehand and have them warm and ready to go. Par-cooking the filling while the salted eggs rest is a good way to do it.

Should you add milk to omelette? ›

"Just no. Adding more liquid makes your eggs tough and slimy. Leave out the water, milk, cream, ANYTHING and go for just egg."

Should an omelette have 2 or 3 eggs? ›

One omelette will serve one person and, because it is so quick to make, it's not worth cooking a large one for two. So, according to how hungry you are, use 2-3 large eggs per person. For omelettes, the fresher the eggs the better, but up to two weeks old is fine.

Have to break a lot of eggs to make an omelette? ›

Sometimes “You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs” means it is impossible to get something important done without creating a problem for someone else. So, the result may be good for you, but not for everyone.
