Making Lettuce Omelette From Fresh Lettuce In My Garden
Omelettes are one of the best choices for dishes you can make in your kitchen. Of course, that's because they're easy to make and can be combined with many vegetables. They're also healthy, of course.
But have you ever thought about lettuce remedies? Since gardening and growing my own fresh vegetables, I've often thought about various types of omelets from various vegetables. For example, the eggplant omelet I've made.
This time, I was thinking about lettuce omelets. My lettuce season is over, and I've harvested all of it in my garden. I've even harvested the lettuce seeds from the old lettuce plants to save as seeds for future planting.
But guess what? There's a lettuce plant growing on its own, growing wild in front of my house. I'm sure it's from the seeds of a previous lettuce plant that were blown away by the wind.
Look at this wild lettuce; it looks fluffy and so fresh. I immediately thought of a lettuce omelet. Let's get right to it. I'll share the method with you, and I'm sure it's very simple.
We just need a flat, non-stick pan so we can flip the lettuce omelet nicely and the final presentation will be beautiful.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 1 head of lettuce
- a pinch of salt
- 4 eggs
- 5 cloves of shallots (or you can use chopped onion)
- (optional) chili, or you can just use ground pepper instead
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a medium-sized bowl and crack 4 eggs.
Then, I added chopped shallots and chopped chili. Don't forget the salt for seasoning, and pepper if you're using ground pepper.
Then, stir the eggs and seasonings thoroughly.
Once the eggs are evenly beaten, add a few lettuce leaves, according to your preference. I added 4 to 6 large lettuce leaves.
Then, heat a nonstick pan and add a little oil. Add the beaten eggs and lettuce. Cook the eggs until they flip nicely.
Of course, be careful when flipping the lettuce omelet to ensure a nice shape. This requires precision and quick movements.
Oh, thank goodness, the omelet I flipped turned out beautifully and didn't break. Yay, this lettuce omelet is finally ready, ready to be served with healthy carbohydrates. I chose to use cassava rice to complement the lettuce omelet.
SERVING
Four eggs can serve two to three people. The resulting lettuce omelet looks thick.
I split the omelet in two. One for me and one for my husband.
I'd previously cooked cassava rice for breakfast. So I ate this lettuce omelet with the cassava rice I'd cooked earlier.
Yeah, I'm so happy this new dish turned out to be quite tasty, and I'll try it again when I have lettuce. And of course, when I have other vegetables. In fact, I'm thinking of making a long bean omelet, since I have long beans in my garden. So, what do you guys think?

You know something omelets are one of my favorite egg things to make. I have tried many things in them but have never tried to make one with lettuce in it. Next time I will, just had one yesterday though, hehe.
Hey, tomato omelete also the best one 😊
That I have tried :)
Looks tempting with the vegetative touch...👍..recently I saw new omelette recipe and waiting to you it ..they remove the yellow part and then blnded the remaining liquid. The person then put the blended portion into the pan and it turns into a ticket layer. He then added the yolks and other veggies on one side of the omelette...yolks works as the topping.
Sounds like broccoli omelet, they put yolks after adding mashed broccoli and white egg 😊

Ohhh, omelette eggplants is the best! Haven't thought about making egg with lettuce, but I already tried it with. Carrot and cabbage. This one looks good and healthy. And you reallyyyyyy love chilis no? But well, food is more appetizing if it has that lil kick of spiciness in it ✨🕺
Egpplants, carrots, cabbage, I tried them and love soo much for omelets ❤️
Garden fresh omelette, you are really living a good life, nothing beats home grown veggies in a meal . That lettuce 🥬 omelette recipe must taste delicious
Thanks for the vote
Oh wow! This makes the omelette more delicious for sure.
The food looks amazing. I wish I had similar plants in my garden so I could make it too.
looks tasty and good.
I’m not really a fan of eggs but this is tempting to try
You did great, thank you for sharing
I’m sorry we can’t be friends lol
Egg Omelette is what I usually cook at home and why I didn't think of egg Omelette too. This is awesome because I have lettuce left here that I didn't cook. I'll try this. Thanks for this recipe.
Wow! That’s so cool wild lettuce! ☺️
You’re really good at creating dishes. Lettuce omelette is so unique, it’s my first time seeing someone cook it. It looks so delicious and healthy, especially paired with cassava rice. ❤️
I might try it too when I get to buy lettuce one of these days. ☺️
Enjoy cooking and experimenting! ☺️❤️
Reading this made me smile because honestly omelets are one of those comfort foods that everybody thinks of as simple but when you start experimenting with different vegetables it actually feels like a whole new meal every time you make one I never thought about lettuce in an omelet before but the way you described harvesting your own garden lettuce saving seeds and then even finding a wild lettuce growing outside your house makes it sound like the most natural choice to try
What I like is that it shows how food and gardening connect in unexpected ways you plant something one season save the seeds and then nature surprises you with another plant later on it’s like a little gift back from the earth and turning that into a recipe idea makes it feel even more special I think that’s what makes home cooking different from restaurant food because every ingredient has a story especially when it comes from your own garden
The way you explained the lettuce being fluffy and fresh really gave me the picture in my head and I can almost taste how light the omelet would come out I also like that you mentioned using a flat non stick pan because that’s the kind of practical tip people often forget and it makes all the difference when you want the omelet to actually flip well and look good on the plate I feel like this recipe is simple enough for anyone to try but it still carries the deeper value of using something that grew naturally around you
Honestly I’m now curious to try a lettuce omelet myself just to see what the texture is like because I’ve done spinach eggs kale eggs even eggplant like you mentioned but lettuce is new for me and it makes me think there are still so many vegetables we overlook that could change the flavor of a dish in a really refreshing way
Omelette is a very popular recipe here in Brazil, and I think it is very versatile (which makes it something more democratic). I like it a lot (especially when I want to make lighter meals).
Omelet with lettuce—I have to try this. I don't know why I only use lettuce in raw dishes, but this opens up a lot of possibilities. Thank you, it looks delicious.
Wow! omelets from lettuce, I would want to cook this recipe because omelet is yummy. Your omelet looks so tasty and healthy.
it turned out really nice. this is new to me!! i've only tried potatoes, carrots, and tomato omelets :D i'd love to try this one too!
I’ve never tried a lettuce omelette and it sounds super tasty!!! Thanks a lot for sharing
Lettuce omelette combined with cassava rice seems to be a really good choice. Nice that you were lucky to still find one wild growing lettuce plant! 😊
How amazing it is to use fresh lettuce from the garden and make amazing omelette…
Thanks for this recipe, it is delicious, not as eggs because I don't like them. But, in this way if they seem delicious. I'm going to follow you on your YouTube channel :)
Your recipe is simple but nutritious. Maybe this can be done without rice or as a filling for bread like a burger.
I've never made tortillas with lettuce, but it would be a nice option for breakfast. I loved that you picked the lettuce from your little garden.
Look tasty like usually sis 💕
Thanks sis
