Start by signing "egg": cross the index and middle fingers of both hands, then pull them down and apart as if cracking a shell. Next, hold your non-dominant hand flat with the palm facing up to represent a frying pan. Finally, use your flat dominant hand to mimic flipping an omelette by starting with it palm-up over the "pan" and turning it over so it lands palm-down.
Sign "breakfast", then "cheese", and finally "omelette" using the egg-and-flip motion. This sets the time context first, followed by the specific type of food you ate.
Point to the person, sign "know", "make", and then "omelette". Remember to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly at the end to indicate that you are asking a yes/no question.
Sign "omelette", then "delicious". Pair the sign for "delicious" with a highly satisfied facial expression and a slight nod to emphasize just how good the food tastes.

They are similar, but not exactly the same! The sign for "pancake" usually just involves the flipping motion on the palm. "Omelette" specifically adds the sign for "egg" at the beginning to clarify what is being flipped.
Yes, it is highly recommended. Without the "egg" portion, the sign can easily be confused with "pancake" or a general cooking action. The compound nature of the sign is what makes it specifically mean "omelette."
Your non-dominant hand should act as the stationary "pan" with the palm facing up. Your dominant hand is the active hand that performs the flipping motion on top of it.
