Any good tips for making an omelet?
Everytime I try and make an omelet it turns into scrambled eggs. Any suggestions for flipping it right?
Answers:
Use a non stick pan and put a cover on it while they are cooking put your fillings in and just fold it in half. Comes out thick fluffy when you use a smaller pan and thinner if you use a bigger one. watch the temp so it does not brown too much
Mix some ice water in the beaten eggs for a lighter, fluffier omelette. Advice from Julia Child.
i had that problem. Turns out i flipped it too early. Wait till it's cooked well on one side.
You Must Scramble the eggs BEFORE cooking it, then let it cook until you start seeing bubbles and a bit of brownings on the sides. Also, before you cook it, you must add any type of meats or veggies you want while in the process of scrambling.
don't overwhisk the eggs
don't add milk
don't add too much fillings,it makes it too heavy to flip
do make sure the pan is really hot,and oil sizzling
get a good nonstick pan
cook it on med heat when the edges seperate from the pan gently put the egg turner under the edge ease it to like 1/3 of the way then flip
The best way to make an omelet:
crack a couple eggs
stir in some cheese
a little water to make it fluffy
salt and pepper and whatever other herbs you use
poor entire mixture into pan and wait till eggs are nice and fluffy, it'll look like a plate...with cheese...made of eggs
turn the heat down, (don't want them breaking apart here!)
on ONE HALF of your omelet put whatever you want into it, (I like tomato's and avocados and spicy herb cheese)
let it heat through a LITTLE (don't burn your eggs!!)
lift an edge of the omelet and add a little bit of veggie oil or butter or what ever you use UNDER the omelet and then fold it in half
let cheese melt a little to hold down other ingredients
use a LONG PLASTIC or plexi spatula and lift ENTIRE omelet and set it down
one of the most common errors in omelet-ography is OVER STUFFING
DO NOT OVER STUFF YOU OMELET
last and final step:
eat it!

make sure to use a non-stick pan, add a splash of cold water and meat or veggies to the eggs, scramble and let cook til bubbly, then I run the spatula along the edge of the whole thing to loosen it up and flip, try using a long spatula to get it all at once.
Here's what you do.
Make sure you have beaten the eggs very very well.
Keep the heat on LOW, and use only a non-stick pan.
The french way to make an omelet:
Let the eggs cook a little bit without stirring, then using a spatula or spoon, gently push the cooked layer towards the center. The liquid part will run outward and fill that space. Let that cook, then push it in towards the middle.
During this process, bang the omelet pan lightly on the burner. This eliminates air bubbles.
Just before the eggs are set the way you like, salt them.
Most french people like their omelets a little undercooked, and therefore, don't flip the omelet over. (I personally hate them this way, so I always flip it and cook it on the other side.
There is a delicious way to make an omelet...souffle omelets.
Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the whites to stiff peaks. Beat the yolks well. Put a little fluffy whites into the yolks and stir lightly, then add the yolk mixture to the entire bowl of whites and fold in gently until incorporated.
These omelets will come out fluffy and puffy and beautiful.
cook it on low heat, and wait long enough so that the egg does not fall apart when you flip it. your eggs will turn out really good from slow cooking them
