An omelet is a dish made primarily from beaten eggs that are cooked until set. It can be prepared in various styles, often folded around fillings such as cheese, vegetables, or meats. Omelets are popular for breakfast but can be enjoyed at any meal. There are many regional variations of omelets, including the French omelet, which is smooth and creamy, and the Spanish tortilla, which includes potatoes. Cooking techniques may vary, but the basic ingredients remain the same: eggs, salt, and sometimes milk or cream for added richness.
