But if you do start to wonder, you might be surprised to know there's a definitive reason why IHOP's egg dish is fluffier, airier, and more filling than most. As it turns out, that massive mountain of eggs isn't just eggs after all. The omelettes are actually made with some pancake batter in the mix.

Load up on protein with an omelet at IHOP. "Their omelets are extremely satisfying. The number of eggs used and different selections of fillings are what makes the omelets [so great]. They are made to order, tasty, hot and scrumptious," Melica told Insider.

It is marked that the Omelettes contain wheat and gluten as they are made with a splash of Buttermilk Pancake batter to create a light, fluffy Omelette. The same batter is also used in our Burritos and Bowls. The Scrambled Eggs do not contain Buttermilk Pancake batter.

For an easy, delicious breakfast, garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped fresh chives, and dig in! For a larger meal, serve them with toast, a bagel, or avocado toast, breakfast potatoes, or your favorite fresh fruit. Scrambled eggs are also a great choice for a laid-back weekend brunch.

The scrambling of eggs is an ancient technique. The earliest documented recipe for scrambled eggs was in the 14th-century Italian cookbook Libro della cucina.

A new, protein packed spin to our classic buttermilk pancakes that started it all. Get four of our protein pancakes made with whole grain rolled oats, barley, rye, chia, flax & 37 grams of protein topped with whipped real butter.

IHOP doesn't use butter or oil on its griddle, because butter can give the pancake that webbed, lacy look, instead of a uniformly golden brown 'cake. If you need a little fat to keep the pancakes from sticking, Grimm suggests rubbing a little Crisco on a cold pan with a paper towel.
