FLUFFY EGG WHITE OMELETTE
I used to think that an egg-white omelet couldn't be as good as a "real" one. I was wrong. This omelet is golden and so delicious!

Steps:
- Heat a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat, 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, vigorously whisk the egg whites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, until frothy. Whisk in the parmesan.
- Using a spatula, fold the green onions and tomatoes into the egg whites. You can also scatter the vegetables on top of the eggs after you pour them into the skillet, as shown in the video. But I prefer the method of stirring them into the eggs before you pour them into the skillet.
- Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil spray, then pour the egg whites in and start cooking them, tilting the skillet to spread them evenly.
- As soon as the edges start to set, reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently and repeatedly lift the edges of the omelet, and tilt the skillet to allow the still-runny egg whites to slide to the bottom of the pan, where they will cook faster. The video below shows you how to do that.
- When the bottom of the omelet is cooked and the top is not runny anymore but still wet, carefully flip the omelet. I sometimes use two large spatulas for this task. Another method, shown in the video below, is to place a large heatproof plate on top of the skillet (careful - it will be hot), invert the omelet into the plate, then slide it back into the pan, cooked side up.
- After flipping the omelet, keep cooking it for just a few more seconds, then turn the heat off.
- Fold the omelet, slide it onto a plate, and serve.

Steps:
- Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.
- Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely. Let the mixture cook for about 20 seconds then scrape a line through the middle with a spatula.
- Tilt the pan again to allow it to fill back up with the runny egg. Repeat once or twice more until the egg has just set.
- At this point you can fill the omelette with whatever you like - some grated cheese, sliced ham, fresh herbs, sautéed mushrooms or smoked salmon all work well. Scatter the filling over the top of the omelette and fold gently in half with the spatula. Slide onto a plate to serve.

FRENCH OMELET
This cheesy, full-of-flavor omelet is modeled after one I tasted and loved in a local restaurant. Mine is so hearty and rich-tasting that no one will guess it's lower in fat. -Bernice Morris, Marshfield, Missouri

Steps:
- Whisk together first 5 ingredients., Place a 10-in. skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edges. As eggs set, push cooked portions toward the center, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath. When eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains, top 1 half with remaining ingredients. Fold omelet in half. Cut in half to serve.

Tips:
- For a fluffy omelet, separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold the whipped whites into the yolks.
- To make your omelet more flavorful, add some chopped vegetables, herbs, or cheese. Some popular options include onions, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, feta, or cheddar.
- If you're using a nonstick skillet, you don't need to add any oil or butter. However, if you're using a regular skillet, you'll need to grease it with a little bit of oil or butter to prevent the omelet from sticking.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside of the omelet will cook too quickly and the inside will be raw. Cook the omelet until it is set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce.
Conclusion:
Omelets are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables or cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can make a perfect omelet every time.
