Etymology

The word 'omelet' has a rich history that traces back to the early 14th century. It is derived from the French word 'omelette', which is a diminutive form of 'lamelle', meaning 'small plates' or 'thin slices'. The cooking method involves beating eggs and cooking them until set, which likely originated in the Mediterranean region, where similar dishes have been prepared for centuries. The concept of encasing fillings within eggs likely evolved in various cultures, leading to the diverse range of omelet styles we see today. Throughout history, omelets have been embraced worldwide due to their versatility and the ease of preparation, making them a staple in many cuisines.
