WHAT TO SERVE WITH MICROWAVE OMELETTE

Omelets are like the little black dress of breakfast, in that it goes with everything. You can serve it up with toast, pancakes, breakfast sausage, hash browns and more. You can also cut up some fresh fruit to serve on the side if you’re going for a high brunch aesthetic. Just ask your friends to bring over the stuff to make a mimosa and you’re all set.

VARIATIONS ON MICROWAVE OMELETTE

Add-ins: We can’t talk about Omelettes without mentioning the best thing in the whole world to add to it. That thing is bacon. Add bacon to your Omelette to give it a crunchy, savory, awesomeness that is hard to beat. We also love adding a drizzle of hot sauce, like Sriracha or Chili Sauce.

PLATE IT UP

Pull your Omelette out of the microwave and set it on a clean plate. Then, take some Sriracha and drizzle it over the top in a pretty pattern. It will look like something from your favorite diner, and you get a little extra zing of spice.

SAVE SOME FOR LATER

Well, the bad news is that Omelettes really don’t keep well, since reheating them either fry them beyond recognition or makes them mushy. The good news is that this recipe makes just enough to enjoy without leaving too many leftovers.

COST FACTOR

$: This Omelette is a lot more than just an egg, which means that you need to get a few more ingredients. Don’t worry though, you can get everything for pretty cheap and you can make a whole lot of omelets from them. That’s breakfast for a few days for not a ton of money, which is always a win.

MICROWAVE TABLE

1,000 watts or higher: Higher wattage, lower cook time. Our microwave is about 1,250 watts, but if you have one with about 1,000 watts you will want to cook for about 1:12.
700 watts: Microwaves under about 900 don’t heat things evenly or consistently, so don’t go anywhere while you’re cooking. Cook for 1:43, but keep an eye on it.
