The flavor profile of an omelette is largely determined by its fillings. The base is a mild, eggy flavor, enhanced by butter or oil used for cooking. The fillings can range from savory to sweet, creating a wide spectrum of flavors.
Typical flavors in an omelette include: buttery richness from the cooking fat, the mild flavor of the eggs themselves, and then a medley of flavors from the fillings. Savory omelettes often feature cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, feta), herbs (chives, parsley, tarragon), vegetables (mushrooms, onions, peppers, spinach), and meats (ham, bacon, sausage). These additions contribute to the overall taste and texture. Spices like black pepper, salt, and paprika are common seasonings. Sweet omelettes are less common, but can feature fruit preserves, chocolate, or powdered sugar.

Whisking Technique
Whisk the eggs thoroughly but gently to incorporate air, creating a light and fluffy texture. Avoid over-whisking, as this can result in a tough omelette. Season the eggs with salt and pepper before whisking.
Pan Temperature Control
Use a non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to cook the eggs quickly but not so hot that they burn. Adding a small amount of butter or oil to the pan helps prevent sticking and adds flavor.
Folding Technique
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, add the fillings to one half of the omelette. Gently fold the other half over the fillings using a spatula. Cook for another minute or two to heat the fillings through.
Proper fillings
Make sure the fillings are not too watery or add excess water. If you add vegetables make sure they have been precooked
