Perfect Omelets image

An omelet, especially one with lots of veggies and lean meat, is a satisfying solution for time-strapped nights -- particularly when you're only cooking for one or two. Complete the meal with a green salad and buttered whole-grain toast.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large eggs, preferably room temperature
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped scallions, and/or fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, dill, or cilantro (optional)
1 tablespoon butter, plus more for serving
1/4 to 1/3 cup desired filling

Steps:

  • Have a serving plate ready. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in scallions and/or herbs, if using.
  • Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again, and add to skillet.
  • Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, about 30 seconds. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15 to 30 seconds (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
  • Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
  • Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.

This omelet was really bad. I don't know what I did wrong, but it was inedible.

This omelet was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of omelets, but this one was really good. The cheese and ham were a great combination.

I was skeptical about the milk addition, but it really made the omelet extra fluffy. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.

I've been making omelets for years, but I've never had one as good as this. The secret is in the folding technique. It creates a perfectly cooked, evenly browned omelet.

This omelet recipe is a game-changer! I've tried countless omelet recipes, but this one is by far the best. The eggs were cooked to perfection, fluffy and tender, and the fillings were flavorful and perfectly balanced.
