My family loves my fried-egg 'omelets,' and they're surprisingly easier to make than the real thing

I came up with my own recipe for fried-egg "omelets," and they're a crowd-pleaser in my house.
You can customize each omelet before and during the cooking process.

Now that eggs are actually affordable again after record-high prices in 2023, they're a staple in my family's diet.

I've been making what I jokingly call my "Patented Fried Egg Omelet" for years now. Although it's entirely likely that someone else is cooking the exact same meal, I've yet to come across it.

They're easy to make, delightful to eat, and an impressive crowd-pleaser.

Here's how I make them.

Most of the ingredients are really up to you.

I start by prepping the eggs.

Things like tomatoes and chives don't need extra cooking time, so I add them to the eggs.Steven John

Before throwing the mixture in a pan, I cook up anything that needs extra time.

Once everything's ready, carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan.

You want to be gentle so you don't break the yolks. Steven John

Let the eggs firm up well before flipping.

I let everything cook for about two minutes before flipping.Steven John

I finish it off with a sprinkle of cheese and serve.
