Best Answer

Chili powder will never dissolve in eggs. What you're aiming for is a suspension: the chili particles evenly distributed in the eggs. The chili will eventually float to the surface of an egg mix, so the best you can do is mix it properly right before pouring it into the skillet, and hope it sets before the chili separates too much.

    Answer 2

    I often add chopped chilli to an omelette. Fresh or dried (flakes) can simply be stirred into the egg before cooking. The latter is particularly convenient.

    Another approach I take is to fry onions/peppers/mushrooms, chilli and/or garlic first, until soft, set them aside and cook the omelette in the same pan (with more oil). Just before folding the omelette in half, put the veg and possibly cheese on top of one side. This is overkill for chillies alone, unless you like a huge quantity.
