Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use other vegetables?

Yes! You can experiment with the vegetable you want to include in your omelet. We recommend using tomatoes and onions for that extra flavor. If you want a lighter flavor, you may use salad greens — specifically lettuce — to be mixed with the egg.

Can I make this omelette ahead?

Unfortunately, no. This dish is best served hot. After cooking your 3-minute omelette in the microwave, we strongly advise that you eat it immediately. The omelette will no longer be moist when it gets cold.

Conclusion

This omelette dish is good when you want a quick breakfast or brunch. Serve it with rice or with bread and we guarantee that it is going to be very filling. Top with some mayonnaise and ketchup and it will be an amazing dish altogether.
