Notes

Another way of making Masala Omelette

This is another way of making Masala Omelette.
After you heat the ghee, you can then add the Onion and cook till golden.
Then add garlic and tomatoes (and any other veg) and cook for a few minutes before adding the spices.
Once they are fragrant, you add in the whisked eggs (with milk if using) and coriander and cook.

Serving Suggestions

I like to have my omelette in a chapatti rolled up with some green chutney, or with toast (under the grill) but some people swear by white bread only or a Pav.
You can also serve with Chapatti/Roti, Paratha, ghee Roti (dribble) or in a wrap.
Many people serve it with toasted bread slices and tomato ketchup but I am not a fan of ketchup!

Variations

Chaat
A sprinkling works really well here.
Garlic
Add 1 clove crushed or sliced or Garlic granules.
Loaded Veggie Omelette
Add allllll the veg and increase the number of eggs you use. Good options are Peppers. You can also add Mushrooms, Sweetcorn, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Spinach, Asparagus.
Cheese Omelette
You can add grated cheddar to the egg mixture to make a cheesy omelette or add it at the end, before sliding under the grill for a minute.
Milk
You can add Milk, Cream or Creme Fraich for super creamy Eggs.
Mushroom Cheese Omelette
Add the mushrooms and cheese in with the egg mix. So good.
Masala Omelette Quesadilla
Make a Quesadilla version!
 
Masala Omelette French Toast
When I was growing up, my mum always made French toast like this and it wasn't until I lived away from home at University that I learnt that French toast was actually supposed to be sweet. My friend made some and when I bit into it, I was devastated! LOL.
Sweet French Toast is nice but I would always choose this version over it. I think because when you expect it to be savoury and it isn't, it just feels strange.
 
Omelette Toast
Another way to serve it is to embed the bread (remove the crusts into the omelette) before flipping.
 
You can also flip the Egg into the Toast to create a sandwich.
 

 

 

 

Storage and Reheating

Omelettes keep surprisingly well for up to 3 days in the fridge but I would not recommend making them ahead of time. They are best served immediately after making.
If you do have leftovers and wish to reheat, the best method is to do it on the stove top with a tsp of Oil.
You can also microwave for 10 seconds at a time to avoid drying the omelette out.

Freezer Instructions

Omelettes can be frozen for up to 3 months.
To store in the freezer, wrap tightly or place into freezer bags or an airtight container.
To reheat, simply add to a pan with preheated oil and cook covered gently over a low flame.
