Yes, you can store leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
You can substitute spearmint with other herbs like parsley or chives for a different flavor, or omit it entirely if you prefer.
You can use whole eggs, egg whites, or a combination, but this may alter the flavor and texture of the omelette. Make sure to adjust cooking time if using eggs with different fat content.
Tips:
- Beat the eggs thoroughly: Ensure the eggs are well-beaten with water to create a fluffy and light omelette.
- Cook over medium heat: Cooking the omelette over medium heat helps to avoid burning the eggs and ensures that all ingredients are evenly cooked.
- Add fresh spearmint at the end: To preserve its fresh flavor, add spearmint towards the end of cooking rather than cooking it with the eggs from the start.
- Use a non-stick pan: Using a non-stick pan with a bit of butter will help to prevent the omelette from sticking and tearing apart.
- Don't overcook the peas: Pre-cooked or fresh peas should only be lightly stirred in to keep their texture and avoid them becoming mushy.
