Is there another dish that can so confidently – and credibly – call itself both a breakfast and a dinner? Omelettes are the ultimate thing to cook when you have no other ideas – or ingredients. There’s just nothing quite like it for turning the stray bits and bobs in the fridge into a fully-formed meal. And with just a bit of practice – and some recipes for guidance – omelettes will become your first-choice dinner. (or breakfast.) You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, so let’s get cracking.
