An omelette is a dish made by beating eggs, usually with milk or cream, then cooking them in a frying pan with butter or oil. The eggs are typically folded over to create a half-moon shape and can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, ham, mushrooms, herbs, and more.
Omelettes have been a popular breakfast dish for centuries and are believed to have originated in ancient Persia. The dish later spread to Western Europe, where it became a staple of French cuisine.
