How to Cook an Omelet

Omelet pans are available, however, I like to cook mine in an 8 inch non-stick skillet. It is the perfect size for an omelet.

In a non-stick skillet,  very little fat or oil is needed. A teaspoon or so of vegetable or extra-virgin olive oil is enough.  Heat the skillet for 1 minute on medium heat.

For 2 servings, whisk 4 eggs in a small bowl. Add a splash of milk, salt and pepper. Whisk again.

When the skillet is hot, pour the eggs in. Cook until the outside edges start to set. Using a spatula, bring the outer edges toward the center slightly, all the way around. Lift one side of omelet and tilt the pan, so that the uncooked part goes underneath. Continue cooking this way until eggs are fully cooked.

Add filling, if desired. Make a crease in center (not all the way through). Fold omelet in half.  Cut into two halves.  Serve immediately.

You have set my mouth to watering!!! I love omelets. My favorite has fresh cilantro??? lol I will take your advice to heart. My daughter sometimes gets omelets that are a bit overdone. Ugh.
