Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs: Set into the structure of the omelette as the proteins cook and firm.
Cheddar cheese: Melts into the eggs, adding richness and a savory, cheesy flavor.
Bacon: Adds salty, smoky flavor and crisp pieces of fat and texture.
Butter: Adds fat and flavor and helps the omelette brown and release from the skillet.

The step that matters

Pour in a little bit of mixture at a time. Pouring a small amount at a time gives a thin layer of egg that sets quickly and evenly. Too much at once cooks unevenly, leaving the middle runny or the edges overdone.
