SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.

Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir gently with the tines of the fork for about 1 minute to allow the eggs to flow between the potatoes.

OMELETTE NATURE (BASIC OMELET)

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, salt and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl.
• Place an eight- or nine-inch omelet pan on the stove and heat well. Add the butter and, when melted, add the egg mixture and start cooking, shaking the skillet and simultaneously stirring rapidly with a fork, holding the tines parallel to the bottom of the skillet. Try not to scrape the Teflon or metal surface.
• Cook to the desired degree of doneness. Ideally, in the minds of most fine cooks, the omelet must remain runny in the center, yet firm on the bottom. Remember that the omelet will continue to cook until the moment it is turned out of the pan and that it cooks quickly.
• When the omelet is properly done, lift the handle of the skillet with the left hand. Knock the omelet pan on the surface of the stove so that the omelet ''jumps'' to the bottom curve of the pan. Use the fork and quickly fold the omelet from the top down. Let the omelet stand as briefly as possible over high heat until it browns on the bottom. Turn it out neatly onto a hot serving plate, seam side down.

COLD OMELETS

Steps:

• For the tomato omelet: In a large saucepan, preferably nonstick, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, add the minced scallions and saute for about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes and a quarter teaspoon of the salt. Saute the tomatoes for about 45 to 60 seconds, until they are warm and starting to render their juice but are still firm. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a clean saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the remaining quarter teaspoon of salt and the pepper in a bowl. When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture and, when the curds form in the bottom of the pan, stir until the whole mixture is set but a little wet inside.
• Using your fork, bring the near lip over toward the center of the omelet and arrange the tomato mixture down the center of the omelet. (If the tomato mixture is too wet, use a slotted spoon to remove the solids for use on the omelet.) Fold both lips of the omelet back over the tomatoes to enclose them as best you can. Heat the one teaspoon of butter in the exposed end of the skillet and cook the omelet for about 45 to 60 seconds to brown it nicely underneath. Invert onto a plate.
• When lukewarm, slide the omelet onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a tube, tightening it as you roll to give it a nice cylindrical shape and twisting the wrap at both ends. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• At serving time, cut the omelet into one-and-one-half-inch slices and place the slices cut-side-down in a small gratin dish. Sprinkle with a few drops of vinegar, about one tablespoon of oil and extra herbs, if desired. Serve.
• For the herb omelet: Beat the eggs with the salt, pepper and chopped herbs and proceed with the directions above (ignoring references to the tomato mixture) to make and finish the omelet.
