I mean a good one? I could probably look it up or watch a YouTube video, but I don't want to. I'd rather learn here. Does anyone here want to tell me step for step how to make a perfect omelette? Also looking for different recipes. I bet Speedy knows how to make one.

    I use the fake eggs (egg beaters). Chop up some mushrooms onion an green pepper. Heat the veggies in a separate pan with a little butter. Pour the eggs into a pan, flip those Fuckers over when one side is done. Then as the other side is cooking I put all the veggies on....but only on one half....then I sprinkle some cheese over the veggies. Then I fold the other half of the eggs over...on top of the veggies.

    I actually make a pretty omelet.
    If I do say so myself.

    Okay, so I wasn't flipping it over when one side was done. That makes sense.
    How many eggs do you use? And I've never heard of fake eggs before.

    I use the egg beaters Cuz it's just liquid. Easy to pour evenly in the pan. I usually pour about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch of liquid into the pan.

    I've made omelets from scratch, separating whites and yolk...then beating the whites to make everything fluffy.....but it's just a pain in the ass....I even own an omelet pan....also a pain in the ass....

    Instead of flipping the omelette, I like to finish mine in a hot oven. I pour 3-4 beaten eggs into a hot skillet and immediately throw in your veggies. Once it's about half cooked I add cheese on top and throw into the broiler on high. I guess that technically, this is a frittata, but it's basically the same thing and much easier. Just remember to use an oven proof (all stainless steel) skillet and a freakin pot holder or oven mit as I have burnt the hell out of my hand before.

    Every other way I have tried to make omelets. I end up with raw eggs in the middle. The way I do it now, its almost like making an egg pancake...Then I load up half with my veggies and cheese...And just flip the other half over. It turns out pretty damned nice. Try it with spinach and cheddar. Delicious.

    Who am I, Rocky?! And no, I would not be able to swallow one raw egg. It'd come right back up.

    I think I use a 6 inch pan, maybe 8 inch. Then ya feel all chef-like when you flip that fucker over using just the pan and not a spatula. Hahahaha

    I like that you mention a "hot oven" and a "hot skillet." Hey I might not be a master omelette maker or anything, but I'm not inept, lol.

    This is the first I've ever heard of this method. I don't think I've ever heard of a frittata before? I may have to try it this way once I learn the normal way. Thanks!

    Because until you get good at it, you have raw eggs all over the oven top.

    three eggs, beaten well
    a pat of butter in a 10 inch pan over medium high heat
    when the butter bubbles drop the eggs
    stir the eggs with a fork until they start to set
    add cheese, salt and pepper (or other ingredients-less is more)
    fold over using thin flexible spatula- or use the speedy method if you have skills
    turn down heat and let it cook through for about 3 mins
    flip and turn off heat, let it rest a few mins
    eat
    use the best possible cheese as processed cheese has a lot of water content and can make your omelette runny.

    Every man should know how to make a proper omelette- I lived on them in college.

    I've never flipped the eggs. After you pour in the scrambled eggs, you gently scrape the cooked egg from the edges to the center, tilt the pan so the liquid goes out to the edge and gets cooked.

    Gotta use lots of butter, make sure the eggs don't stick to the pan, then toss in your fixings on one half, cover with a lid for a minute so it steams them, then slide half out on a plate then use the edge of the pan to fold the other half over the other.

    and I love frittatas...way easier than an omelette.

    Yeah I gently scrape from the center. But then I give it a flip. Ya gotta give it the FLIP!!

    And yes, plenty of butter.
