Here's the secret to the famously fluffy Waffle House omelette.

Waffle House has plenty of options when it comes to its omelets. Go for the classic one with American cheese, choosing a side of grits, hash browns or tomatoes. Another popular menu item is the fiesta omelet, which features hickory-smoked ham, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, grilled onions and American cheese.

The secret to making the perfectly fluffy Waffle House omelette is all about whipping the eggs. Waffle House uses an industrial-strength milkshake mixer to whip the eggs until as fluffy as can be. You can copycat this cheese omelet at home by whipping your eggs until frothy. You could even use a blender!

Once your eggs are as frothy as can be, heat your pan on medium-high heat. Using vegetable oil or olive oil, allow your oil to heat up until ripples appear. Then, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Allow the omelette to get firm, and then flip it. Leave it for 30 seconds without disturbing it, and then flip it back over. Allow your omelet to cook for another 30 seconds, placing the cheese on top. Then, fold the omelet to cover the cheese and take it off of the heat. Then enjoy your amazingly fluffy Waffle House omelet for brunch.

To make this recipe your own, add in the veggies or cheese variations you prefer! Ham & cheese is classic and cheddar cheese always adds flavor or put in some pepper jack for a kick. You can make it low-calorie by taking out the yolks and making an egg white omelet. However, the most important part is making your eggs as fluffy as they are at Waffle House!
