I learned to make omelets from a “demonstation speech” in my junior english class 30 years ago. Someone actually brought in a camp stove and made omelets for the class. Add 1T water per 3 eggs. Pan must be hot when you add the eggs. Lift the cooked portion of the eggs frequently to let the uncooked portion flow underneath to cook. Add a cover and reduce heat when nearly cooked to finish off the top, then add toppings to half and fold the other half over. And the most important thing….now put your plate over the pan and flip the whole thing onto the plate so any mistakes are hidden on the bottom!!! Thanks again Jeff Thompson in Mr. Sankey’s junior English class.

Haha. I can’t make an omelet to save my life. I’ve accepted it and just call mine “omelet scrambles”.

I’ve found that cooking an omelet with sufficient butter, beating the eggs thoroughly, and cooking over a low temperature works best. I also cover my pan to get a fluffy omelet. I don’t add the cheese until the last 30 seconds or so. Really, the omelet is completely cooked when I add the cheese-then I turn off the heat and cover the pan again to melt the cheese. *I am cooking on a gas stove, but I think it would be pretty similar on an electric.
P/S If you’re going to add meat or veggies, add them immediately after you pour the eggs in the pan so that you can disperse them evenly.
Happy cooking!

A few tips I’ve learned about making Omlette’s are #1 add a splash of cold water to your egg mixture. Then #2 wait until your pan is hot enough that if you sprinkle a bit of water on the pan, the water dances. And I don’t flip the egg. As soon as it’s cooked through, I fold it over instead of flip. Anyway, don’t know if it makes any difference, but this is how we usually do it. Thanks for a great blog!!!
