This high-protein mozzarella omelet is one of my favorite easy breakfast recipes when I want something quick, filling, and packed with protein without overcomplicating things.. It is made with whole eggs, egg whites, onion, parsley, ham, and plenty of melty mozzarella, so it turns out soft, flavorful, and perfect for almost any time of day.
I made this with the ingredients I already had at home, which is exactly what makes it such an easy recipe. You can enjoy it for breakfast, serve it for a cozy family brunch, pack it for lunch, or make it as a quick dinner with a fresh salad on the side.
It is simple, delicious, and full of protein, but still feels comforting and homemade.
Ingredients
Servings: 4 to 6 slices
- 5 whole eggs
- 4 egg whites
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- A small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- Olive oil, for greasing the pan
- 5 mini mozzarella balls
- 4 slices deli ham, chopped into small pieces
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese, chopped into pieces
Instructions
1. Crack the whole eggs into a large bowl, then add the egg whites.
2. Add the salt, black pepper, chopped onion, and fresh parsley.
3. Using a fork, beat everything together until the mixture looks smooth and well combined.
4. Lightly grease a nonstick skillet with olive oil and place it over medium heat.
5. Once the skillet is hot, pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly across the pan.
6. Add the mini mozzarella balls, chopped chicken ham, and chopped mozzarella slices over the top of the omelet.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelet cook over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set and the cheese starts to melt.
8. Once the omelet is mostly set and the cheese has melted, carefully loosen the edges with a spatula. If desired, fold the omelet in half and cook for another minute until warmed through. Alternatively, gently flip it and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until lightly golden.
9. Serve warm on its own, with a fresh salad, or as part of a breakfast or brunch spread.
Make It Your Own
You can easily adapt this omelet with whatever you already have in the fridge. Instead of ham, you can use turkey, cooked chicken, bacon, or even leftover roasted vegetables.
If you do not have mozzarella slices, shredded mozzarella works perfectly too. You can also add spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and color.
This is the kind of recipe that does not need to be perfect. It is simple, flexible, and made to fit real-life busy days.
