Did you know omelettes are cost efficient and healthy (if done properly) meals that will keep you full for a very long time. They are also super easy to make and you can get very creative and add just about anything.
Because of omelettes are so easy to make, you will often find that some people will make them from the night before for a quick breakfast, or carry it with them to lunch.
If you landed on this page, then you are probably trying to find out how to reheat an omelette. Worry not my friends, as I will give you different options that will make reheating this wonderful egg dish painlessly easy.
Zap it With the Microwave
If you want the quickest way to go about reheating omelettes, I suggest that you use the microwave. While the microwave has a reputation for destroying foods, it gets a pass for this simple egg dish.
Steps
- Place omelette on a microwave safe container or dish
- Cover with a damp cloth
- Microwave on the lowest setting for maybe 30-40 seconds, checking to ensure it is thoroughly heated.
- If heated properly, take out and enjoy.
The reason why you want to use the damp cloth and have it on the lowest setting is that often times microwaves can overcook eggs and have them tasting rubbery and disgusting. Once you have it on the low setting, it can warm the omlett up properly without changing its texture.
On the Stovetop is Another Good Idea
While the microwave is super quick, you can also go about reheating an omelette on the stovetop. This is another quick method that should have you enjoying your meal in no time.
Steps
- Get a non-stick pan or regular pan and add some olive oil
- Allow the pan to heat up on a low flame
- Add in the omlette and allow it to heat up properly for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Once finished, take out and enjoy.
As you can see, the steps above are all easy and it really should not take out anytime to get your omelette warmed up and ready to eat.
