What is an omlett?

Answer 1

An omelette is a dish made with eggs and cheese, and often chopped vegetables and/or meats.

A basic omelette is made by whipping eggs and cream together, frying until nearly stiff, adding a layer of shredded cheese, folding half the egg over the top then heating until the cheese is melted.

Adding sautéed vegetables or cooked chopped meats with the cheese is often done.

A "Spanish" omelette is more similar to a frittata, where the vegetables (usually peppers and onions) are sautéed then the egg mixture and cheese are added and cooked (fried), [a frittata is baked] until done. Again, meats can be added.

A quiche is an egg pie made similar to the frittata except the egg mixture is placed in a pie shell before baking.
