If you are wondering whether you can make an omelette and freeze it the answer is yes. You can freeze omelets. So, if you have a leftover omelette or made a big batch store them in the freezer.
Be aware that when you thaw an omelet you will get excess moisture and the texture of the egg can be a little more rubbery compared to a freshly baked omelet. As it takes only a couple of minutes to prepare I would always opt for a fresh cooked omelet.
Only if I have leftovers do I store them in the freezer.
Let them cool completely first after you cook your omelets. Then you will need to wrap your omelettes in layers. Start with at least three layers of plastic wrap to prevent any frost damage from occurring with your omelet or to prevent them from going watery later.
Put the plastic-wrapped omelets in an airtight food container or a Ziploc bag. Label and store in the freezer for up to three months.
When you thaw and reheat a frozen omelet the texture will change due to the liquid in the omelet. So be prepared it will not be as fluffy as a freshly made one.
