That looks good. I'll give it another go tonight or tomorrow, might try to tweak it a little.

It was yummy. I had it with 3 Ryvita and a cup of tea. I'm gonna try a potato version over the weekend, bit low on supplies til I do the weekly shop tomorrow.

Did you cook the couscous before putting it in?

I have to say, I have never ever heard of putting couscous into an omelette!

No, I just sprinkle it on top and it cooks itself in the moistness of the egg mix. I don't mix it through cos it tends to stick in the pan. It's just a bit of filler to make the omelette more substantial. I was starving one day and only had 2 eggs so I added it to make a bigger meal. It doesn't change the flavour but gives a nice texture.

Usually go for 3 eggs with pepper added to them, then have gouda, scallion, ham, salami and chicken on top. Makes for a beautiful ommlette

I had an omelette at the weekend that I thought was really nice

Fried up:
bacon bits, chopped up pork meatballs from aldi (yellow packaging) and onion

Heated up ye ol reliable pulled pork from the cooking club recipe

Mixed up 2 eggs, some milk and dash of salt

I cooked the mixture on it's own and after I flipped it I added hot salsa and all the ingredients above plus grated cheese and folded it over and cooked it for a short time more.

Was really tasty!

Omelettes are a great way of using all the leftovers in one go. My favourite had prawns, muscles, olives, garlic, scallions and cheese. Nom nom.

If I'm making an omlette its usually a pre/post gym meal which includes -

chicken, spinach, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion and a handful of cheese (made with 3 eggs, S&P, garlic - no butter/milk)

Fry all the ingredients in coconut oil and add in the beaten eggs & seasoning.

If I'm having one for breakfast its got to be smoked salmon, button mushroom and crumbled black pudding!

not something i often see but my grandmothers recipe involved seperating the egg yolks and whites, then whisking the whites until soft peaks form (as you would making a meringue) ..then folding that back in with the whisked egg yolks.. cook the rest of the ingredients as you would for any omelette, cook slowly on a low to medium heat and finish off under the grill/broiler so the bottom doesnt get burnt.

it makes a really fluffly omelette!

im hungry now...

It's called a souffle Omelette, I used to make them a lot when I was in college because they look like loads of food and it's a good way of tricking yourself into believing you had a big meal when you're broke :P

Souffle omelette and some beans, the dinner of a broke professional cookery student :P
