3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
To cook this omelet to perfection, I recommend using a non-stick skillet or air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Then, add the chopped cabbage and cook until tender and lightly browned.

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped cabbage and cook until it's tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together and season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked cabbage mixture and cook until the eggs are set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Use a spatula to gently fold the omelet in half and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese is melted (if using).
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
