Can you eat omelettes regularly?
Yes, comfortably, for the vast majority of people: the usual worry about needing constant variety applies at the level of a week's eating, not to any single meal slot.
Dietary variety is usually recommended for a good reason: different foods bring different micronutrients, and leaning too hard on any one ingredient can leave gaps. The useful clarification is what level that advice actually applies at, because it's often misapplied to individual meals rather than to the diet as a whole.
Variety matters across a week's worth of eating, not within every single meal slot. If lunch and dinner already bring a wide range of vegetables, proteins, and grains, having broadly the same first meal most mornings isn't undermining that variety. It's just one repeated data point in an otherwise varied week, not the whole picture. The nutrients an omelette doesn't provide in large amounts (fibre-heavy plant foods, a wide range of micronutrients from different food groups) are easy to get from the other five or six eating occasions in the week.
This is also, in practice, how a lot of people already eat without thinking about it. Few people genuinely rotate every meal daily; most have a handful of go-to breakfasts, lunches, and dinners they return to regularly, and that's neither unusual nor a nutritional problem, provided the small rotation itself isn't nutritionally narrow.
So the honest answer is: regularly, yes, comfortably. Daily, for months on end, with zero variation in fillings is less clearly necessary, and probably not the most interesting way to eat anyway, but not because it's somehow unsafe. It's simply that a little rotation in the fillings costs nothing and keeps the meal more enjoyable.
