Why You’ll Love This Blue Cheese Omelet

This blue cheese omelette comes together in just minutes for a hearty and satisfying dish. Perfect for any meal of the day. 

I used sesame oil to cook the eggs, instead of butter or olive oil, for a different flavor profile and a change of pace.  Sesame oil isn’t just for Asian foods, I find it adds a nice flavor to eggs and quite a few other dishes. 

The thing I love best about omelets is that they are easily modifiable and adaptable to your preferences or whatever you happen to have in the fridge. You can change it up every time you make it so you never get bored of eating omelettes. 

This blue cheese omelette is so simple yet so delicious. If you haven’t used blue cheese in your omelettes you should give it a try.

Variations of Cheese Omeletes

• There are endless ways to change up a cheese omelette but here are a few of my favorites:
• Any kind of cheese will work in an omelette in my opinion; feta, parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella. You name it and I am pretty sure it will taste great. 
• Throw in your favorite vegetables; diced onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Whatever you have in your fridge right now is probably fine. Or frozen veggies work well too. No need to thaw beforehand them either just cook them until they are warmed through.
• Add some spice by sprinkling the egg mixture with red chili flakes, sriracha, chipotle peppers, or a jalapeno.
