Frequently Asked Questions
This recipe calls for the use of very simple, classic ingredients that you’re most likely to find in your pantry. However, that doesn’t mean you need to stick to using just those ingredients. In fact, you can also add a lot more into the mix, and make the bread omelet more healthy and nutritious.

You could add some grated cheese into the egg mixture, or in the center of the omelet before you fold the bread slices if you prefer a cheese-stuffed omelet.
Looking to make this recipe more filling? You can pan-roast some veggies of your choice (think zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, and asparagus) and season them with your favorite spices before adding them to the center of the omelet.
