About this recipe
Omelettes are my go-to food when I’m too lazy or don’t have time to cook. Alright, maybe not 1001 – yet! But I do have so many variations! Each as delicious as the next! I usually have a mixed salad with my omelettes. And if I’m really hungry, I might even make two.
The first recipe is my absolute favourite because it’s easy and fast. Plus, you can make it with any cheese you have at home! The one in the picture is with mozzarella cheese.
I’ll keep adding new variations to this page. If you want to make sure not to miss them, please sign up for the newsletter at the bottom.
Cheese Omelette
The classic! Easy, fast and super simple. My go-to meal when I don't feel like cooking.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp piri piri hot sauce (optional)
- 50 g grated cheese of your choice, for example, Mozzarella
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pour the oil into a frying pan and turn the heat to medium to high heat.
- Add garlic powder, piri piri and salt to the egg. Beat it beating until everything is well-combined.
- Once the oil has heated up, pour the egg into the pan. If you want a crispy well-done egg, wait until the oil is hot.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the egg before it has set completely. Add as much pepper as you like.
- Once the egg has set enough flip it. Turn the heat off immediately. The pan and your stove are hot enough to fry this side and you avoid burning your cheese.
Notes
So I like my omelettes very well done and my cheese crispy. You too? Then follow the instructions. If you prefer a softer omelette fry it slowly on medium heat. Don't turn the heat off after you've flipped it though or your omelette won't be done.
If you prefer your cheese to really melt into the omelette add it to the beaten egg before you pour everything into the pan.

- While the mushrooms fry, peel and chop up the onion and the garlic clove. Add them to the pan and fry them for a few minutes too.
- When the filling is done, heat up the rest of the oil. Whisk the egg and add salt to taste while you're at it.
- Pour the egg into the pan. Place the cheese on top of the egg and add pepper.

Pesto Omelette

A keto omelette with pesto and cheese.

- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Basil pesto
- 50 g cheese, grated or sliced (Mozzarella works best, but Emmental and Gouda are good too!)

Instructions
- While the oil heats up in a pan, whisk the egg with the pesto and a pinch of salt. Mix it until it's well combined.
- Pour the mix into the pan.
- Spread the cheese over the egg.
- Add pepper to the cheese.

Notes
I like omelettes with a crispy cheesy side. That's what you get if you follow the instructions. If you prefer a softer omelette, use grated cheese and mix it into the egg before you pour it into the pan.
Goats Cheese Omelette
Goats Cheese Omelette
Simple and delicious goats cheese omelette for a quick lunch or dinner.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 60 g goats cheese
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp ground garlic
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Beat one of the eggs with a fork.
- Add 1/2 tsp garlic, paprika and chilli with a pinch of salt to the egg. Mix it together and leave it for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile heat up a non-stick pan. If you add oil the eggs will be crispier.
- Pour the egg into the pan, cover it with freshly ground pepper and cook your omelette on both sides until it is as well done as you like it.
- While the first omelette cooks, beat the second egg and mix the rest of the spices into it. Remove the first omelette from the pan and cook the second omelette.
- While the first side fries, cut the goats cheese into slices. As soon as you flip the omelette once, spread the goats cheese over the already done side and cover it with the first already done omelette.
- Turn off the heat. When the second omelette is done, flip both carefully once and leave in the pan for another minute, until the goats cheese has melted. Enjoy!
