It is said that the omelette originated in ancient times somewhere in the east. The word omelette is a French word.
We find many references in Ancient Greek texts for the omelette. For example, Dionysius in the Diepnosophists tells us, “Simias, I’ll make him forget everything...if I can only show him an omelette, and set before him a dinner redolent of the attic sweet breeze...”.
There are many types of omelettes made in Greece, the most popular being with spinach and fetta, and "strapatsada" made with pureed tomatoes.
