If you’re looking for something nutritious for breakfast, then look no further than this Cabbage Omelet. It’s quick, easy, and uses a lot of vegetables—perfect for a nutritious breakfast.

It’s a great way to serve breakfast for larger groups of people, as the omelets can be cooked all at once. It’s also a cheap dish to make, as cabbage is one of the most affordable vegetables. You can easily customize the recipe as you want, so make sure to check out our tips below! This might just become your new favorite breakfast staple!

Tips

If you want to make it meatier, you can also add cooked ground beef, smoked turkey, cooked bacon pieces, smoked salmon, chopped ham, or shredded rotisserie chicken.

For a sweeter, less pungent flavor, use baby cabbages—they’re often sweeter. Don’t use purple cabbage, as this may discolor the omelet.

Feel free to add fresh garlic, and chopped herbs to add more flavor. Basil, thyme, and parsley will all go well with this omelet.

You can use other veggies too (it’s a great way to empty the fridge!): mushrooms (cook them first), leeks, zucchini, red onions, sweetcorn, spinach (wilted), and cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, and feta). Just make sure to sauté the veggies beforehand, and cook until all the moisture is removed.

To prevent the omelet from burning before it’s completely cooked, keep the heat on medium.

How To Store Cabbage Omelet

Store the Cabbage Omelets in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep them in an airtight container so that they do not absorb any odors in your fridge.

Allow to cool, first and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or airtight Ziploc bags. They can also be frozen in this way for up to 3 months.  When you reheat them, don’t heat them too quickly as the eggs might split. Rather use the microwave (50% heat), oven, or stovetop.
