An omelette is an easy, handy and delicious recipe to whip up for breakfast or brunch. Rich in protein, eggs can be cooked in multiple ways to savour them with veggies, meats and herbs. Here are 10 easy omelette variations that can be cooked at home for a quick morning meal.

French Omelette

This classic dish is an all-time favourite. Folded into a fluffy and fine oval, the omelette is can be served with a stuffing of ham, mushrooms or cheese.

Spanish Omelette

Made with crispy fried potatoes and eggs, the Spanish omelette is like an appetizer or tapa but whipped up for breakfast, it can work well as a filling meal.

Masala Omelette

Capsicum, tomatoes, onions, chilli powder and masalas are added to this omelette for a spicy, Indian kick. It can be enjoyed with bread or as a chapati egg roll.

Japanese Fluffy Omelette

The tamagoyaki or fluffy Japanese omelette is made by rolling together layers of fried eggs. Traditionally made in a rectangular pan, it is a breakfast staple or used as a filling for sushi.

Bacon And Cheese Omelette

Stuffed with crispy bacon and your preferred cheese, this omelette is a delectable treat best savoured with a choice of different herbs and condiments that spice up this recipe.

Pesto And Tomato Omelette

A good, creamy basil pesto and some roasted tomatoes put on eggs is pure heaven. This is a tempting and easy variation that will make sure you consume your required protein intake.

Baked Omelette

If you want a healthier version than pan-fried eggs, a baked omelette cooked in the oven akin to a quiche is a good choice for leisurely Sunday brunches.

Mushroom Omelette

There is really nothing more delightful than tossing a few mushrooms sauteed in garlic and oregano onto whipped eggs frying on a pan. Have this with toast for a sumptuous breakfast.

Zucchini And Cheese Omelette

This is a good variation to have if you want to opt for a low-calorie option that also provides the body with healthy fats in the morning.

Spinach And Tomato Omelette

A classic combination, the leafy vegetable pairs well with juicy tomatoes. Blanche the spinach for a dark green colour that adds depth and flavour to whipped eggs.
