The onion and cheese omelet is perfect for a simple yet satisfying breakfast. It is made with just two eggs, green onions, and grated cheese, and the preparation doesn't take long. I used salty cheese, so I didn't add any extra salt to the mixture. The omelet is cooked for five minutes on each side and served immediately while it's hot. Quick Info Total time: not specified exactly; cooking takes 10 minutes Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe Cooking time: 5 minutes on one side and 5 minutes on the other Servings: 1 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: breakfast Ingredients 2 eggs 1 green onion 100 g salty cheese Oil for greasing the pan Salt, only if the cheese used is not salty enough Chopped dill, optional The cheese should be grated before being mixed with the eggs. If it is salty, no additional salt is needed. In the case of less salty cheese, a little salt can be added to taste. Preparation method 1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until the whites and yolks are well combined. 2. Clean the green onion, then chop it finely. Add the onion to the eggs. 3. Grate the 100 grams of cheese and incorporate it into the egg and onion mixture. If you are using dill, add it now. Do not add salt if the cheese is already salty. 4. Grease the pan with a little oil and heat it up. 5. Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and let the omelet cook for about 5 minutes on the first side. 6. Carefully flip the omelet and let it cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. It is important to flip it only after the first side is set. 7. When it’s ready, slide the omelet onto a plate and serve it hot. Why I make this recipe often I make this omelet when I want a hearty breakfast without having to prepare many ingredients. The eggs and cheese are enough for a simple meal, and the green onion adds flavor and freshness. The recipe is easy to execute and doesn’t require a long list of ingredients. Another advantage is that the ingredients are prepared quickly. The onion is chopped, the cheese is grated, and everything is mixed in one bowl. The omelet is served immediately after cooking, when it’s hot and the cheese is well incorporated into the eggs. Tips If the cheese is very salty, the omelet does not need additional salt. It’s better to check the taste of the cheese before adding any seasoning since salt can taste stronger after cooking. The green onion should be chopped finely to distribute evenly in the mixture. If there are very large pieces, the omelet may break more easily when flipped. Grease the pan with just enough oil to prevent the omelet from sticking. You don’t need much oil, especially since the cheese already contributes to the flavor and texture of the dish. Follow the indicated cooking time: about 5 minutes on each side. The omelet should be set enough before being flipped. If it’s still very soft, it may break during flipping. For flipping, use a spatula or carefully turn the omelet as mentioned in the original recipe. If the pan is well-greased and the omelet is set, the operation will be easier. Substitutions The cheese can be replaced with another salty cheese, but the final taste will depend on how salty and dry it is. If you choose a less salty cheese, you can adjust the amount of salt. If you don’t have green onions, the recipe will lack its characteristic flavor since onion is one of the main ingredients. However, you can make the omelet with just eggs and cheese if that’s what you have on hand. Oil is used to grease the pan. The exact amount is not specified, so just lightly coat the surface of the pan. Variations Chopped dill is the mentioned variation for this recipe. It is added along with the green onion and cheese before the mixture is placed in the pan. You can prepare the omelet with more or less dill, depending on your preference, without changing the other steps. Dill adds a fresher taste, but it is not necessary for the recipe to turn out well. Another possible adjustment is to use a more or less salty cheese. In this case, the only thing that needs to be changed is the amount of salt added to the mixture. The basic recipe remains the same: beaten eggs, chopped onion, grated cheese, and cooking in the pan. Serving ideas The omelet should be served immediately after being taken out of the pan while it’s hot. It can be placed directly on a plate and cut in half or into pieces, depending on how you prefer to eat it. It’s suitable as a breakfast and can be served plain, without other ingredients. Since it contains eggs and 100 grams of cheese, it provides a hearty portion for one person. Frequently asked questions 1. Should I add salt if I use salty cheese? No, it’s not necessary if the cheese is already salty. In the original recipe, I omitted salt for this reason. If you use less salty cheese, you can add salt to taste. 2. Can I add dill to the omelet? Yes. Chopped dill is optional and is added to the egg, onion, and cheese mixture before it is placed in the pan. 3. How long does the omelet cook? It cooks for about 5 minutes on the first side and then another 5 minutes on the other side. The total cooking time indicated in the recipe is 10 minutes. 4. How many servings does the quantity of ingredients make? The 2 eggs and 100 grams of cheese make one serving for one person. If you want to prepare more servings, the quantities need to be increased proportionally. 5. What should I do if the omelet breaks when I flip it? Wait until the first side is well set before flipping it and use a little oil to grease the pan. If it is still soft, it may break more easily. Even if it breaks, the taste remains unchanged, and the omelet can be served in pieces. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and may vary depending on the type of cheese, the size of the eggs, and the amount of oil used. For the entire recipe, a rough estimate is: Calories: approximately 430-500 kcal Protein: approximately 30-34 g Fat: approximately 33-38 g Carbohydrates: approximately 3-5 g The largest variation comes from the cheese and the oil used for the pan. The cheese contributes a significant portion of the protein and fat, while the eggs complete the protein intake. The green onion adds a small amount of carbohydrates and does not significantly change the total caloric content. Storage and reheating The omelet is best served immediately while it’s hot. It is not a recipe that needs storage since it is prepared quickly and is meant for a fresh breakfast. If there is a leftover portion, store it in the refrigerator and consume it as soon as possible. Upon reheating, it may become drier, especially due to the eggs and cheese. For the best results, prepare only the amount that will be served.
