Frequently asked questions
Can I add a cooked onion to the omelet?
Yes, you can add a cooked onion to the omelet to give it more texture and flavor, but remember to adjust the omelet's cooking time, as the onion has already been cooked.
How can I make this omelet saltier?
Add more salt or pepper to the preparation to increase the salinity of the omelet.
Can you use mozzarella cheese in this recipe?
We do not recommend it, as the mozzarella cheese can melt and alter the consistency of the omelet.
Can I use egg yolks in this recipe?
No, because the yolk can cause the omelet to overcook and make it difficult to cook evenly.
How can I reduce the amount of butter?
Use a smaller amount of butter or substitute with olive oil for a healthier version.
