HAM AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk eggs with milk and salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat large nonstick frying pan with nonstick cooking spray over medium high heat.
• Add egg mixture and cook without stirring until only a tiny bit of egg is still wet. Place 2 cheese slices on half of the omelet. Sprinkle ham over the cheese and top with other 2 slices cheese.
• Carefully fold over one side of omelet on top of other. Slide out of pan onto plate.

HAM AND CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ham and cook until browned and crispy, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
• Beat eggs with 1 teaspoon chives, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and add to skillet, tilting skillet to distribute egg evenly on bottom of skillet. Cook until omelette has set at the edges. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top and fold omelette in half. Flip and cook until egg is entirely set and cheese inside has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Slide onto a plate and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon chives.

PERFECT OMELET

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.

JAPANESE-STYLE OMELET WITH HAM AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir the ham and cheese together in another small bowl.
• Heat a Japanese rectangular omelet pan over medium heat until hot. Brush with little bit of oil. Add just enough of the egg mixture to coat the bottom of the pan when tilted. Let the egg cook until just set on the bottom, then use chopsticks or a rubber spatula to roll the sheet of egg into a log shape and push it to the far end of the pan. Brush the pan with more oil and again add just enough egg to coat the bottom when tilted, this time lifting up the rolled egg so that the raw egg flows underneath it. (If the egg is browning or setting too quickly, control the heat by lifting the pan off the burner for a moment.) When the underside is just set, roll the log towards the handle of the pan, then push the log back to the far end. Repeat; when you have made 3 layers, make another layer in the same manner and add half the ham and cheese. Make another layer, using the rest of the ham and cheese. Finish making the omelet in the same manner with the remaining egg.
• Turn the omelet out onto a plate, sprinkle with chives and serve.

CHEESE AND HAM OMELETTE

Steps:

• Gently beat the eggs together in a mixing bowl and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Pour in the eggs and cook for a few seconds, until the bottom of the omelette is lightly set. Push the set parts of the omelette into the uncooked centre of the omelette. Cook again, until the omelette has set further, then push those set parts into the centre of the omelette again. Repeat the process until the eggs have just set but the omelette is still soft in the centre.
• Put the cheese and three-quarters of the ham in the centre of the omelette and cook until the cheese has melted.
• Increase the heat to high and cook the omelette for a further 30 seconds, or until it browns on the bottom.
• Fold the omelette in half, then remove the pan from the heat and tilt it slightly to move the omelette to the edge of the pan. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, then shape it into a neat roll. Sprinkle over the remaining ham.

HAM AND CHEESE OMELET RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch skillet or omelet pan over medium heat. Add ham pieces and cook gently to warm through for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Break eggs into a small bowl. Gently mix with a fork. As mentioned above, do not whisk.
• Tip gently stirred eggs over ham in skillet over medium heat. Using a fork, gently move egg around pan, pushing cooked egg from the pan's bottom and allowing uncooked, liquid egg to run into its place. Gradually, all the eggs will start to set.
• Immediately once egg starts to set, sprinkle cheese and stop stirring. Let omelet sit for about one minute for heat to start to reach cheese. Sprinkle over a tiny pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Once cheese is starting to warm, take a spatula and carefully nudge omelet's lower edge two-thirds of the way over.
• Take a warmed plate, hold skillet over plate and gently tip pan away from you and roll omelet out and over onto plate, so the seam is underneath. This is easier to do than it sounds. Serve omelet immediately.

PERFECT OMELETS

Steps:

• Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
• Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
• Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
• Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
• Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.

PERFECT CHEESE OMELET

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).

HAM AND SWISS OMELET

Steps:

• In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, water, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges)., As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, place ham on one side and sprinkle with cheese; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate.
