Omelet

/ˈɒmlɪt/ noun

Definition

a dish made from beaten eggs that are cooked in a pan and often folded with fillings like cheese or vegetables.

Etymology

From French 'omelette,' which came from the Old French 'amelette,' possibly influenced by 'lamelle' (thin plate). The word's origin is uncertain but may derive from the resemblance to a small blade or the idea of 'folding' eggs.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, the French word 'omelette' might come from 'lamelle' meaning thin plate—because when you fold an omelet, it literally becomes a thin, flat package, and the name describes the cooking technique itself!
