An omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs that are cooked in a frying pan. It usually consists of whisked eggs mixed with various ingredients such as cheese, vegetables or meats, and often seasoned with herbs or spices. The mixture is then poured into the hot pan and cooked until it sets. Omelets can be served in many different ways depending on personal preference - folded, rolled or cut into wedges. They are a popular breakfast food that can also be enjoyed as a light lunch or dinner dish.
