tips to make Cheesy Omelette

  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough to cook the eggs quickly but not so hot that they burn.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for variety, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta.
  • Add veggies like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.

You can customize your cheesy omelette by adding ingredients like diced ham, cooked bacon, or herbs such as chives or parsley. This way, you can create different flavors to suit your taste!

FAQs

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Yes, you can use egg whites if you prefer. Just beat them until frothy and follow the same cooking steps.

What type of cheese works best?
Cheddar is a popular choice, but you can use any cheese you like, such as Swiss, feta, or goat cheese.

Can I make this omelette in advance?
While it’s best served fresh, you can prepare your omelette in advance and reheat it later. Just be sure to store it properly in the fridge.

Hey, I’m DeShawn Ellis—friends call me D. I’m 42 years old, born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, and now I’m holding it down in Atlanta, Georgia, where I run a soul food kitchen that’s as much about storytelling as it is about the food. Cooking isn’t just what I do it’s who I am. It’s how I honor where I come from, and how I speak love into the world.

My earliest memories are in my grandma’s kitchen barefoot on a step stool, stirring roux while she told me stories about her own mama, who used to cook for church fish fries back in the ’50s. That kitchen was my school. That woman was my first chef. She never measured a thing, but everything came out perfect. She taught me that food could heal, could gather people, could celebrate and comfort at the same time.

I didn’t come up through culinary school I came up through Sunday dinners, community cookouts, and elbow grease. I worked every back-of-house job you can think of, from janitor to pitmaster. Over time, I built my own rhythm in the kitchen deeply rooted in Southern Black tradition but open to everything. My oxtails have a splash of Caribbean heat. My collards might get kissed with smoked paprika and a dash of coconut vinegar. And yeah, I’ll put Cajun spice on anything that holds still long enough.

What drives me most is making food that feels like a hug from home. I want folks to taste a dish and remember their auntie's kitchen, or a summer evening on the porch, or that one bite that made them feel seen. But I also want to evolve because our food, our culture, is not stuck in the past. It’s growing, remixing, finding new voices. I’m proud to be one of them.

I cook for people who love food with a story behind it. You don’t need fancy tools or a French accent to make magic you just need heart, hustle, and a little bit of fire. If you’ve ever cooked with love, failed with style, or fed someone just to see them smile, then we’re already family.

Welcome to my kitchen. Let’s build something beautiful one bite at a time.
