proof that breakfast is just eggs that learned to fold under pressure
means A dish of beaten eggs cooked in a pan and folded over, often wrapped around fillings like cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
from From French omelette, which is a bit of a scrambled word itself — it traces back through earlier forms like alemette and amelette to lamelle, 'a thin plate or blade,' from Latin lamella (the diminutive of lamina, 'thin layer'). So the name describes the egg's flat, thin shape. Along the way the 'l' and other sounds got shuffled around, which is why the word's own history reads like something that was beaten before it set.
