A salami omelette is called a salamelette.

And that is today’s portmanteau, ladies and gentlemen.

Hey, I’ll go you one better.  A hard salami omelette is called a halamelette.  That’s even more enticing.  It sounds Kosher.   (And “harlamelette” sounds too reminiscent of “harlot omelette;” I’m not sure what that would even be made of, but I can’t imagine it’s good.)

Please, no pedanticism about the correct spelling of “omelette,” because it’s too goddam confusing.

I suppose it is obvious that I have strayed from my avowed heart-healthy diet.  I need to get back on that horse.  (Back on the wagon?  Getting to horse hitched to the wagon or something?)

I’m rambling again.
