Omelette is a dish made from beaten eggs, prepared in a frying pan with oil or butter. This dish may contain cheese, vegetables, and/or ham. Omelette can be prepared using whole eggs, or only Egg Whites. Once eggs are beaten, milk or cream is added to fulfill the flavor.
Although this dish has only a few ingredients, many tamper with the recipe to accommodate their taste by adding or filling their omelet with other ingredients. In England they consider ham to be a classic, while in Iran, omelette is filled with spinach, and spiced with salt, pepper and garlic. Many different regions have their own recipes, and that shows just how versatile this dish is.
