1 Prepare your ingredients. Eggs cook quickly, so prepare and cut the rest of the ingredients into small pieces first. Prepare as many eggs as you need. Usually 2-4 eggs are taken. Next, cut the filling into small pieces and grate the cheese.
  • Omelette often uses onions, ham, bell peppers, green onions, spinach, sausage, olives, diced tomatoes and mushrooms. Use whichever ingredients you prefer.
  • You can use Cheddar cheese, goat cheese, Feta cheese, or whatever kind of cheese you like.
  • 2 Break the eggs. It is best to break the eggs one at a time into a bowl. This prevents the spoiled egg from ending up in the bowl with the rest. After breaking the eggs, wash your hands well to protect yourself from salmonella contamination.
  • 3 Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. To do this, you can either use a fork or a whisk. At this stage, you can add salt, pepper and seasonings to the eggs.
  • 4 Start cooking. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet, spreading them evenly over the entire surface using a spatula. You can add a little water or milk to the eggs to make the omelet more fluffy.
  • 5 Add other ingredients. When the eggs are a little fried on the bottom and still runny on top, sprinkle them with grated cheese. Continue cooking the omelet until bubbles appear on top.
  • 6 Flip the omelet over to the other side. Use a spatula and gently turn the omelet over to the other side. Continue cooking for a minute or two until the omelet is completely cooked.
  • 7 Add cheese and fold the omelet in half. Sprinkle cheese in the center of the omelet, and then use a spatula to carefully fold it in half. Transfer the omelet to a plate.
  • 8 Sprinkle the omelet with cheese and serve. Bon Appetit!
  • Method 2 of 4: French Herb Omelet

    1. 1 Preheat a skillet and melt a small piece of butter in it. Place the skillet over medium heat. Wait for the butter to melt completely and make sure the pan is hot enough.
      • This cooking technique is not designed to be used with a non-stick pan, as high temperatures can compromise the integrity of the pan.
      • This method is best for making a two-egg omelet, but you can add a third if you feel hungry.
    2. 2 Crack eggs and add spices. While the butter is melting in the skillet, break 2-3 eggs into a bowl and beat with a whisk until the yolks and whites are combined. The more eggs you add, the thicker the omelet will be. The eggs should spread in a fairly thin layer throughout the pan. Season the eggs and add salt and pepper to taste. You can also sprinkle with chopped onions, oregano, dill, or other spices. 1/2 teaspoon of any spice will suffice.
    3. 3 Transfer the mixture to the skillet. Make sure the mixture is hot enough before pouring the mixture into the pan. To do this, the oil must bubble and sizzle. As soon as you pour the mixture, the eggs will begin to bubble. Stay close and watch the process as eggs cook very quickly. Cook the omelet on one side for about 30 seconds.
    4. 4 Turn the omelet over. Take a skillet and quickly turn the omelet over to the other side. Be careful not to let the omelet fall out or get damaged.
      • It takes practice to master this technique. There should be enough oil in the pan so that the omelette glides easily over the surface of the pan.
      • If you don't want to risk it, use a spatula to turn the omelet over.
    5. 5 Transfer the omelet to a plate. Cook the scrambled eggs on the other side for about 20 seconds, then transfer to a plate. With this simple technique, you can make a flavorful omelet.

    Method 3 of 4: Steamed Omelet

    1. 1 Mix all ingredients. Crack eggs and stir in onions, carrots, sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
    2. 2 Transfer the eggs to a double boiler. If you have a bamboo steamer, use it. If you don't have a steamer, it's easy to make. Just take two pots, one smaller and one larger, and place the smaller one in the larger one. Pour some water into the bottom of a large saucepan and place a small one on top. Place on the stove over medium heat. Pour the eggs into a small saucepan and cover.
    3. 3 Keep the omelet on fire until it's done. Steam the eggs for at least 10 minutes, or until they are completely cooked. If you see that the omelet is still runny, cook it for a while.
    4. 4 Remove the omelet from the heat and cut into pieces. Serve immediately.

    Method 4 of 4: Baked Omelet

    1. 1 Heat the oven to 180 ° C. Make sure the oven is at the correct temperature before placing the omelet in the oven.
    2. 2 Mix all ingredients. Crack eggs into a bowl and then stir in milk, cheese, parsley. Add salt and pepper.
    3. 3 Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Baked eggs tend to stick, so use butter. Lubricate an entire baking dish with butter or sunflower oil. Pour the egg mixture into a mold.
    4. 4 Bake an omelet. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the omelet until it's done, which usually takes about 45 minutes. When moving the pan or baking dish, the eggs should not drip - the omelet should not be runny or look damp.
    5. 5 Remove the omelet from the oven and serve. Cut the omelet into pieces. This omelet is delicious with toast or cookies.

    Tips

    • Feel free to experiment. Many people like omelets with the craziest fillings (like avocado and shrimp or bacon and pineapple). Like pizza, omelets are a canvas for limitless creativity.
    • All additional ingredients must be pre-cooked. This is especially true for meat.
    • Plan ahead.Chop vegetables and meats and grate the cheese ahead of time, as it takes longer than frying eggs.
    • You can use grated cheese.
    • If you don't like fluffy omelets, then skip the milk and use a wider skillet.
    • For maximum fluffiness, beat the egg whites and yolks separately and combine right before cooking.
    • Instead of milk, you can also use a small amount of sour cream (just one tablespoon is enough).
