Omelette or Omelet?
Both spellings are correct! “Omelet” is the standard American English version, while “omelette” is the modern French and British spelling. Use whichever feels right; either way, you’re talking about a fluffy, delicious egg dish that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients for this Omelette Recipe
You’ll only need a few basic ingredients to make this slow cooker veggie omelette, which is simple, fresh, and easy to customize!
- Eggs – The star of the show! They cook up light, fluffy, and full of protein.
- Milk – Keeps the eggs soft and tender; any milk or unsweetened plant milk works.
- Cheese – I use shredded cheddar, but mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or feta are great swaps.
- Garlic powder – Adds savory flavor to the egg mixture without overpowering it.
- Chili powder – For a mild kick; you can skip it or use smoked paprika instead.
- Dried herbs – Italian seasoning or a mix of dried thyme, parsley, and oregano works perfectly.
- Broccoli florets – Adds color, crunch, and nutrients; use small florets so they cook evenly.
- Red bell pepper – Sweet and bright; any color of pepper will do.
- Yellow onion – A white onion will also add a little natural sweetness as it cooks.
- Garlic – Freshly minced for the best flavor.
How to Cook an Omelette in the Slow Cooker
- Prep the slow cooker. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a little oil.
- Whisk the eggs. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder until well combined.
- Add the veggies. Place the broccoli, peppers, onions, and garlic in the slow cooker, then pour the egg mixture over the top. (For extra flavor, you can sauté the veggies for a few minutes before adding them.)
- Cook. Cover and cook on HIGH for about 2 hours, checking around the 1½-hour mark. The omelette is done when the eggs are fully set in the center.
- Finish and serve. Sprinkle the top with cheese, cover again, and let it sit for a few minutes until melted. Slice it up, serve warm with breakfast potatoes, and enjoy your morning without lifting a finger.
What to Add to an Omelette
The beauty of an omelette recipe is that you can fill it with just about anything you love (or whatever’s hanging out in your fridge). Some classic filling ideas include:
- Diced ham or cooked sausage
- Crisp bacon
- Sautéed mushrooms
- Bell peppers
- Tomatoes
- Caramelized onions
- Fresh or dried herbs
- Even leftovers from last night’s dinner
FAQs
A true French omelette, or omelet as we Americans call it, is just eggs and butter, no filling. The egg is folded for a soft, tender texture.
An American omelet has a speckled golden crust from the pan, and the surface is uneven with craters. The round omelet is then folded in half and served. Often, the fillings like meat and vegetables are cooked into the eggs rather than added afterward.
A frittata is cooked in an oven, while an omelet is usually cooked quickly over a higher heat on the stove. Whereas omelets are served hot straight from the stove, frittatas are often served at room temperature, making them perfect to make ahead for brunches or larger groups.
How To Store Leftovers
- Fridge: Store leftover veggie omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- Freezer: You can also freeze it! Let the omelette cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for 2 to 3 months. I suggest freezing it in single portions so you can grab and reheat breakfast on busy mornings!
- Reheat: First, bring the omelette to room temperature, then warm it gently on the stovetop over low heat for about 5 minutes or until heated through.

I love the idea of making a big omelet in a slow cooker! And I love hearing about traditions from around the world. My husband is from Mexico, so January 6 is when he grew up getting presents (not Christmas) …Three Kings Day / Epiphany. I’m guessing it may be the same for you? Now, I need a mimosa…
Hi Heather! I’m Macedonian Orthodox (Christian), but the reason we celebrate Christmas 2 weeks after everyone else is because our Church still follows the [old] Julian Calendar.
However, the exchange of gifts is on January 1st and it only symbolizes the beginning of a new year and has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. To keep those two things separate, people have continued to exchange on the 1st of January. 😀
I love recipes like this, it looks soooo good! Beautiful photos too!
Thank you, Jaclyn!! xx
