WINE MATCH: A nice crisp white like Pinot Gris or Gruner Veltliner.
more substantial (carb lovers) - serve with hot buttered toast.
more substantial (low carb) - make a 4-egg omelette and use more cheese. Scatter over some toasted almonds or hazelnuts. Or serve with a more substantial side.
different fillings - cheese on it's own is a classic. Or cooked crab for something fancy. Pretty much anything that works as a pizza topping will also be lovely in an omelette. I also love basil and goats cheese.
dairy-free - just skip the cheese or replace with extra tomato. Or serve with a dairy-free pesto.
pesto - love this drizzled with a good quality pesto.
butter – will keep in the fridge for weeks.
eggs – will keep in the fridge for weeks or use for another meal.
sun dried tomatoes - unopened jars will keep in the pantry for months. If opened or from the deli keep in the fridge for a few weeks (or longer). Can be frozen.
bacon – if you buy it in a cryovac pack it keeps for a few weeks, check the best before date. Otherwise you’ll need to freeze it.
parmesan – keeps for longer in a chunk so only grate when you’re cooking. I wrap in waxed paper or baking paper and then keep in an airtight container or a sealed ziplock bag. I prefer this over just wrapping in cling wrap because the air in the container allows the cheese to breathe and not sweat but the container / plastic bag prevents from drying out in the dry fridge air. Either way will keep for months.
salad leaves – are highly perishable. My first path would be to use them for another meal (salad for breakfast!) but if that isn’t possible you can pop them in the freezer. They will wilt down but can then be used anywhere you’d use wilted greens. At least this way they wont go slimey.
You can but omelettes are best when freshly made. I had the leftovers from my photo shoot cold with a broccoli salad. It was OK but not as good as a warm omelette.
