OMELET

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until egg whites are incorporated into yolks. Mix in herbs, if using.
• Place a 8- to 9-inch skillet (preferably nonstick or seasoned carbon steel) over high heat. Melt butter until bubbling subsides.
• Pour in egg mixture and reduce heat to medium. With the back of a fork or a heatproof rubber spatula, whisk eggs around skillet until the bottom begins to set. This takes only a few seconds. Add any fillings, if using.
• Tilt skillet and either bang or flip egg over itself. Use fork or spatula if necessary to complete folding in half or thirds. Angle the skillet and a serving plate together, and flip omelet onto plate.

MY FAVORITE OMELET

Steps:

• Heat pan on medium with about a teaspoon of oil.
• Crack both eggs into bowl, then add salt, pepper and milk. Whisk until well-blended.
• Pour egg into hot pan and immediately tilt pan so that egg mixture covers entire bottom.
• Scatter/layer most of each of the remaining ingredients (leaving a bit of each for garnish) over ½ the omelet and allow to cook until you're able to flip the empty half over onto the half with "goodies". A fish spatula works better than a regular one here because it lifts more of the omelet, reducing the chance of tearing it.
• Cook to your desired doneness; I like mine very dry with some color to it and that takes just a couple of minutes, so be careful you don't burn your omelet.
• Garnish with remaining ingredients and the last bacon slice, then GOBBLE-GOBBLE!

FRENCH OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with the water and salt and pepper. Water helps bond the egg, so the omelet will fold more easily.
• Put 3/4 (15g) of the butter and 1/2 (ie. a dash) of the olive oil in a good non-stick 20cm to 30cm frying pan. Heat till the butter bubbles. Mixing the oil with butter makes the mixture spread out, and mushrooms taste better cooked in butter.
• Put the mushroom, onion and bacon (and potato, if using) in the frying pan. Cook until the onion starts to brown (and stir to ensure the mushroom soaks & bacon cooks). Remove from the pan.
• Put 1/4 (5g) of the butter and another dash of the olive oil in the pan. Again heat until it bubbles. Make sure it covers the base of the frying pan (by tipping & tilting the frying pan). Put the whisked egg in the frying pan, and make sure that it covers the base of the frying pan (by tipping & tilting again).
• Immediately put the cooked bacon, mushrooms & onions on one half of the omelet - whichever half looks like it might cook the slowest. Lay the cheese on top of the bacon, mushrooms & onions.
• Test lifting the other side of the omelet. When it is cooked enough to be solid enough to lift, lift it with one or two spatulas to cover the other half of the omelet. You can lift with one spatula and jerk the frying pan, but it might be easier to use two spatulas.
• Leave the omelet to cook on a lowish heat for another minute - so the cheese will completely melt through. Then serve.

KITTENCAL'S FLUFFY OMELET

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together eggs, baking powder, cream, green onions, salt and pepper until frothy.
• Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat until your hands feel warm when held about 2-inches above the surface; add in butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
• Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet; let set slightly.
• Using a heat-proof spatula, push eggs from edge towards the center; tilt pan to let egg fill the spaces.
• Repeat until omelet if JUST set (about 1-2 minutes).
• Sprinkle the grated cheese down the center of the omelet.
• Using the same spatula, gently fold the omelet over the cheese.
• Tilt skillet and slide the filled omelet onto a serving plate (don't worry if you tear the eggs slightly!).

CHEF JOHN'S FRENCH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, salt, and water together in a mixing bowl. Whisk until mixture is very liquid and whites are completely blended in, 1 or 2 minutes.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 9- or 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as butter melts and before it starts to sizzle, pour in the whisked eggs. Stir in a circular pattern with a heat-proof spatula, lifting and "scrambling" eggs, shaking pan to keep leveling out the mixture, and scraping down the sides. Continue stirring until shaking the pan no longer levels the eggs.
• Reduce heat to low. Using the spatula, smooth the surface of the eggs to move runny eggs to less runny spots, working toward an even thickness. As soon as surface is wet but not runny, remove from heat.
• Starting at the handle side of the pan, use the spatula to begin rolling the omelette into a cylinder shape, about 3 rolls until omelette is about 2 inches from opposite side of pan. Use spatula to fold the last flap of egg over the top of the cylinder leaving the seam side up. Add cubes of the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to pan. Gently push the butter as it melts under the omelette.
• Slide omelette to edge of pan. Flip onto a plate with the seam side down. Even out the shape, if necessary. You can tuck in the ends, if you like. Brush surface with a bit more butter. Dust with cayenne pepper.
