Welcome letter contains tasty item (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omelette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tasty item' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'welcome letter contains' is the wordplay.
'contains' indicates a hidden word.
'OMELETTE' can be found hidden inside 'welcome letter'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omelette that I've seen before include "A capsicum pod" , "Food dish (that can't be made without breaking eggs)" , "Egg-based dish" , "Broken-egg dish" , "One must be egged" .)
