Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the 9-inch omelet pan over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until they are tender and all the liquid they released has evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato, parsley, and mixed herbs, increase the heat to high, and cook until very hot, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the eggs and stir briskly with the flat of a large fork until the omelet is almost as thick as scrambled eggs.
- Leave it to cook for 2--3 minutes.
- It should be browned on the bottom and almost firm on top.
- Take the pan from the heat, invert a heat-proof plate on top, and turn out the omelet onto the plate.
- Slide the omelet back into the pan, browned side up, and quickly brown the bottom over medium heat, about 30 seconds.
- Slide the omelet onto a warmed plate and serve hot or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

Steps:
- 1) Sauté fillings for about a minute just to soften them up slightly. You can do this on the griddle or in a separate skillet.
- 2) Get the griddle hot. A drop of water should dance like crazy on it.
- 3) Quickly add the butter to the griddle and move it around to coat everything with the spatula.
- 4) Once the butter stops bubbling, add the eggs. Use a spatula and scoop all the eggs into a rough rectangle.
- 5) Add the cheese and any other fillings you have.
- 6) Do a two part fold. Fold the top over the fillings and then the bottom half over the top.
- 7) Now you have two options: Pull the omelet off the heat. It's done! You may have some runny egg around the edges, but some people like it like that OR using the spatula, deftly flip (or roll) the omelet over so the seam of the fold is down on the griddle.
- 8) If you let it cook for another 30 seconds or so like this, then the egg will be completely cooked through. The cheese will be really melted by now also.

FLAT OMELET FOR A STRESS FREE LIFE
Fritattas and Omelets are life savers for the busy work-a-holic. :-) Despite the cholesterol, eggs are a very healthy food. (Since much of the blood-cholesterol levels doesn't come from dietary cholesterol anyway.) If you use frozen veggies this can be on the table in less then 20 minutes. I like serving this with a chunky tomato sauce and a glass of wine.

Steps:
- heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium sized oven-proof skillet over medium heat. I use a 10-inch caste iron. When hot add the broccoli. Cook the broccoli until heated through.
- Add 1 Tablespoon oil and the onions. Cook until the onions soften. About 5 minutes. Turn heat down to medium-low.
- Pour the egg over the broccoli so that it is in an even layer. Cook undisturbed until the eggs just set. 5-10 minutes. (I like to cook on the stove 5 minutes and finish under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes. Both methods work just fine).

Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat: If the skillet is too hot, the omelet will cook too quickly and be dry. If it's too cool, the omelet will not cook evenly.
- Use enough butter or oil: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and will also add flavor.
- Whisk the eggs well: This will help create a smooth omelet.
- Add your desired fillings: This can include cheese, vegetables, meat, or anything else you like.
- Cook the omelet until it is just set: Overcooking will make the omelet dry and tough.
- Serve the omelet immediately: This is when it is at its best.
