This rolled omelette is a fun way to spice up your weekend brunch. Reminiscent of Korean Gyeran-mari, it’s as fun to look at as it is to eat!

Brunch can get boring when you lean on the same scrambles, home fries, and pancakes every single time. Similar to a Korean-style gyeran-mari or traditional French omelette, this rolled omelette is the perfect way to up your egg game. It’s also such an exciting dish to serve to guests (be prepared to see their eyes open up wide when they set their sights on it). What’s even better? It looks a lot more impressive than it is to make. 

Ingredients for Egg Omelette Roll.

How to Make a Rolled Omelette

The first step is to whisk the eggs with flour and milk in a medium bowl. 

  • Bake the Eggs: Next, pour a thin layer of egg mixture into a rectangular pan lined with parchment paper (this will make the rolling process easier, while also preventing the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan). Sprinkle the top with all the fixings and half the cheese and bake the eggs at 350°F for about 14 minutes. 
  • Top with Cheese: Pull the omelette out of the oven and top it with the remaining mozzarella. Pop the eggs back into the oven for an additional couple of minutes until the cheese is melted. 
  • Roll the Omelette: While the omelette is still hot, roll it up starting from one of the shorter ends. As you go, peel off the parchment paper. 
  • Slice and Serve: Finally, place the omelette on a serving plate and cut it into individual slices. Serve immediately and enjoy alongside your favorite brunch sides!

3 Tips and Tricks for Nailing a Rolled Omelette

Rolled omelettes might look intimidating, but a couple of tips and tricks will help you nail the recipe. 

  • Beat the flour into the eggs before the milk. Whisking the flour into the eggs before the milk gives the omelette a smoother texture.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs. If you cook the eggs too long, they will be impossible to roll.
  • Roll the omelette straight away. Once the omelette comes out of the oven, start the rolling process as soon as you can. The longer it sits, the more it will harden and be difficult to handle.

Hot Tip: A Korean omelette pan, or tamagoyaki pan, is perfect for making mini rolled omelettes. Take it a step further and make a Korean-style omelette roll by adding a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce to the eggs and topping the roll with green onion.

Ideas for Serving a Rolled Omelette

This rolled omelette makes for a perfect side dish for your next brunch spread. Pair it with oven roasted potatoes, cottage cheese pancakes, and air fryer bacon for a full spread. Alternatively, serve slices of the roll atop buttered sourdough for a quick breakfast on the run. 

Best Practices for Storing & Reheating

Here you’ll find all the top tips for storing and reheating your omelette roll. 

  • Refrigerator: To keep your omelette roll fresh for up to a week, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. This will keep the eggs from turning stale quicker. 
  • Freezer: To have quick breakfasts on hand, freeze individual slices of the omelette roll by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap. To thaw, place them in the fridge overnight so they’re ready to be reheated in the morning.

Reheating Tip: To reheat your omelette roll, pop a slice in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. 

FAQ

Can you skip out on the flour?

Flour is key in helping the roll stay together. It also gives the egg a more dense texture.

What happens if you don’t have a 12 in. x 16 in. pan?

If you don’t have a rectangular 12 in. x 16 in. pan, use the one that’s most similar in size and shape.

Can you use egg whites instead?

Using egg whites will probably work out just fine, but it’s not recommended. The egg yolk brings so much flavor and texture to the dish.

What’s the difference between an American omelette and a French omelette?

Traditional American omelettes are folded over once to make a half-circle shape, while French omelettes are rolled up into a spiral shape.

Why does my omelette break when I flip it?

Your omelette broke when you flipped and rolled it if you didn’t let it cook long enough. Once the sides are set and the second layer of cheese is melted, you should be golden to attempt the roll.
