I love omelettes but my only problem with them is I can never make them successfully at home. I always end up with scrambled eggs chock full of meat and veggies. To get a omelette, I have to go somewhere to order one to be cooked for me. I am one of those people that believe most foods are better cooked at home rather than eating it out in a restaurant too. So fellow ClutchFans, how can one successfully make an omelette at home? Any tips, tricks, or pointers are greatly appreciated. While we're talking about omelettes, go ahead and list your preferred additions to the eggs. Mine: Turkey, bacon, ham, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, and spinach.
you need a Large Bowl a whisk or a fork (a little harder) A large non stick pan a decently sized spatchula. I use low heat and butter. It takes practice but the butter seems to be the best for making sure the egg doesn't stick. The quality of the pan really counts.
all about timing and making sure it doesn't stick to the pan...or else you get a scramble like you are talking about. I cook on low heat, then pour in veggies and cheese then fold carefully, then flip
IHOP pours pancake batter in their omelettes, to stretch them out and perhaps to make them more "fluffy".
The biggest tip I can give you is to add a drop of egg into your pan during preheat until you see the egg drop moving around and cooking. Then drop in the rest of your eggs and wait until the bottom of your omelet has cooked enough so your additives do not touch the bottom of the pan. Shake thoroughly. You must also pre-heat your turkey, bacon, ham, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, and spinach before they go in or they will stick.
Also, get yourself a nice Calphalon frying pan from Macy's or BBB. They work really well for omelettes.
i've found that pan size is the key (it also depends on the number of eggs). if you use a pan that's too large, the omelette will end up thin and the toppings will fall through. a pan that's too small, and you'll get an omelette that's not evenly cooked. i typically add one or two of these: ham, turkey, chicken, bacon. and almost always add this: green & red peppers, jalapenos, cheese, tomato, onion, mushrooms.
medium pan, let the egg cook a little on bottom pour in your veggies and what not when there is still raw egg on top, lett them cook for a few minutes, try to roll it three times, let it cook a little on each side. that's my way at least
I'll ask my wife. She punches them out in about three minutes, short-order style. ..oh, right. Omelettes. No clue.
Yo Lil Pun, I'm really happy for you, omelette you finish, but pgabriel has one of the best suggestions of all time!
I got this little soldier in the grab bag at the Christmas party last year... Kitchen Gourmet Electric Omelet Maker It's like a George Foreman Grill for omelets, it works great, I went from a no omelet life to having one a couple of times a week. Good stuff.
