An omelet is a versatile dish made from beaten eggs cooked in a pan, often folded around various fillings like vegetables, cheese, herbs, or meats. Originating from French cuisine, its simplicity and adaptability have made it a global favorite. Nutritionally, omelets are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins such as B12, and minerals like selenium, supporting muscle growth and metabolism. Ingredients like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms can enhance its fiber and antioxidant content, making it healthier. However, the nutritional value depends on preparation; using excessive butter, oil, or high-fat fillings, like cheese or processed meats, can increase calorie and saturated fat levels. For a nutritious option, opt for egg whites or whole eggs with lean fillings and minimal added fat. Omelets are a quick, satisfying meal for breakfast or brunch, adaptable for various diets and preferences.
