What it is

An omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs, fried with butter or oil in a frying pan. It is often folded around fillings such as cheese, vegetables, or meat. The word 'omelet' comes from the French word 'alemette'.

Why it's used

Eggs are a source of protein and nutrients. Manufacturers use eggs in packaged foods for their binding, emulsifying, and leavening properties. They are common in baked goods, breakfast items, and prepared meals.

Health notes

Eggs are a nutrient-dense food, providing protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are not typically regulated as a food additive in the US. Some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to eggs. Research on eggs and health outcomes like heart disease has yielded mixed results over time, with recent reviews suggesting moderate consumption may not negatively impact cardiovascular health for most people.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present in eggs.
