          Plenty of butter in the pan. Salt, pepper, and a few tablespoons of half and half mixed in with the eggs. Medium (bordering on medium high) heat when the mixture is poured on; reduce to medium-low after the first ten to fifteen seconds. Add a sauteed mixture of carmelized onions, mushrooms, and spinach, with some feta cheese on top. Meat is optional, but if you use it, make sure it is sauteed with the onions and shrooms. When the eggs are sufficiently cooked to do so, fold it over and flip a couple of times to ensure even cooking.

            Here are a few key points:

            1) Not too many ingredients. Aside from the primary ingredients: egg, salt, pepper, and butter, you can only pick 2-3 other things. And you're going to have to use them sparingly.

            2) The swirl method is key. This helps the edge crisp and allows for perfect, non-stick folding.

            3) not too much whipping of the eggs before they enter the pan. Contrary to popular belief, fluffy does not mean nearing the texture of wet styrofoam.

            4) if the omelet doesn't slide out of the pan onto the plate, you've messed up

            5) A little brown on the outside is ok. But just a little. This is not a crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle situation.

            6) Do not overcook the eggs. If you wait until the omelet looks done in the pan, it's too late.

            Follow up: do you bi-fold your omelet or tri-fold? I'm sold on the bi-fold.

            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                Bi fold. I've had decent trifolds, but they were more like an eggy crepe.

                  Bi-fold. And I always flip the omelet in the air rather than using a turner.

                      I’ve given up omelettes for scrambles. I like scrambled eggs better, especially when you scramble them with omelet ingredients.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

                        Yes. I like it overcooked with tons of ingredients.

                            I don't know that I've given up omelettes, but I also tend to scramble my eggs with what might traditionally be considered omelette additives.
