Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly.
- Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if there are a few rips).

PERFECT CHEESE OMELET
Making perfect omelets takes some practice, so don't be disappointed if yoru first effort fails to meet your expectations. If using an additional filling, be sure to prepare it before you begin making the omelets.

Steps:
- Beat eggs and salt and pepper with fork in small bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Heat butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat when foaming subsides and butter just begins to color, pour in eggs. Cook until edges begin to set, 2-3 seconds, then, with rubber spatula, stir in circular motion until slightly thickened, about 20 seconds. Use spatula to pull cooked edges in toward center, then tilt pan to one side so that uncooked eggs run to edge of pan. Repeat until omelet is just set, but still moist on surface, about 20-25 seconds. Sprinkle cheese and filling, if using, down center of omelet, perpendicular.
- Remove skillet from burner. Use rubber spatula to fold lower third (nearest you) of omelet to center; press gently with spatula to secure seams, maintaining fold.
- Run spatula between outer edge of omelet and pan to loosen, jerk pan sharply toward you a few times to slide omelet up far side of pan,. Jerk pan again so that 2 inches of unfolded edge folds over itself, or use spatula to fold edge over. Invert omelet onto plate. Tidy edges with spatula, brush with melted butter, and serve,.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it's going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork.
- TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don't want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you're not careful.
- Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage.
- TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut.
- Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it's not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.)
- Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that's the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn't sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That's right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don't worry: Your patience will be rewarded.
- Finish the omelet: Time for the "jiggle" step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you.
- Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don't bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you're making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that's exactly what you're doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn't so hard.
CHEESE OMELET
Steps:
- Equipment: 9-inch non-stick skillet and an immersion blender
- Add oil to the skillet over high heat, and heat it until small hairline ripples appear on the surface of the oil.
- Break the eggs into tall glass or frappe cup and whisk to blend for 1 minute. (The Waffle House uses a 15,000 rpm malt shop mixer.)
- While moving the skillet in a circular motion, pour in the eggs. Continue to move the skillet in a circular motion, allowing the outside of the eggs to cook and fluff up. When the outside edges have firmly cooked, flip the omelet and cook on the other side for approximately 30 seconds. Keep moving the pan in a circular motion, but not as often as before it was flipped. (Too much movement at this time will cause the omelet to fall.) Flip the omelet once more to finish cooking--no more than 30 additional seconds.
- Overlap 2 slices of American cheese in the center of the omelet in a diamond shape.
- Fold the omelet in half, being certain to cover the cheese slices, and slide it onto your plate.
CHEESE OMELETTE
My husband loves omelettes and nothing makes him happier. When cooking an omelette, it's important that you keep your temperature on the low side, as you don't want your omelette to get brown.

Steps:
- Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy.
- Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains.
- Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

THE PERFECT OMELET
Whenever my in-laws come to visit, we have at least one "Omelet Morning" where the whole family gets to choose their own Made To Order omelets that I then create for them. They absolutely love the way I make them and I wanted to share my methods with you. This is for anyone who is a terrible "omelet flipper" like me! :) Add or take away ingredients as you wish. Oh, and pay no attention to the nutritional information generated by Zaar. That would only be accurate if you used all of the ingredients in all 4 omelets. Also, I estimated the amounts of the ingredients so you have enough for just about any option someone throws at you. Have fun!

Steps:
- Heat a small omelet pan over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler in your oven. (Mine has a high/low setting, so I use low.).
- Crack the eggs into a 4 cup measuring cup. Add the milk, seasoned salt and pepper and beat the mixture completely with a fork or whisk. Set aside.
- Add 1/2-1 tbsp butter to the omelet pan and add anywhere from 1/2 tsp to 1 tbsp of any the vegetables first, depending on what is ordered. Using a spatula, saute the requested ingredients for a minute or two until the vegetables are crisp tender. Then add any meats/seafood and saute for one more minute.
- Spread the mixture around the pan evenly. Then give the egg mixture a quick whisk and SLOWLY pour 1/4 of the mixture in and around the ingredients.
- As the eggs cook, use your spatula to push the eggs toward the center of the pan and tilt the pan so the uncooked eggs fill the gaps. Keep your pan on a medium-low setting.
- When there is no more liquid egg to fill the gaps, turn off the burner, place the pan in the oven under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Leave the door propped open a bit so you can watch the omelet. Don't take your eyes off of it - it could burn very quickly. The broiler will cook the top of your eggs. (I'm not a good omelet flipper, especially with all those yummy, but heavy goodies in them, so this method works well for me.)
- Using a hotpad to grab the handle, put the pan back on the stove, making sure the burner you previously used is turned off. If desired, sprinkle the cheese(s) on one side of the omelet and fold the other side over on top of the cheesy side, slide the omelet onto a plate and serve. The heat from the omelet will melt the cheese without overcooking the omelet.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.
- Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely. Let the mixture cook for about 20 seconds then scrape a line through the middle with a spatula.
- Tilt the pan again to allow it to fill back up with the runny egg. Repeat once or twice more until the egg has just set.
- At this point you can fill the omelette with whatever you like - some grated cheese, sliced ham, fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms or smoked salmon all work well. Scatter the filling over the top of the omelette and fold gently in half with the spatula. Slide onto a plate to serve.
