The cooking stations will be manned by a single chef and the omelette will be prepared in front of the children once they have selected their preferred ingredients.
With up to four omelettes being cooked at any one time, each station is capable of preparing many meals each lunchtime.
The trial will run for three months from October to early January and, if successful, will be expanded to include more schools. Initially the trial will be funded by the subscriptions of Lion Quality egg producers.
In addition to the trial, BEIS is revising the educational packs it distributes to schools following the recent announcement by Education Secretary Alan Johnson that home economics will return to the school curriculum next year.
