How do you actually make an omlette /fit/? I'm a shit cook and when I tried making one I ended up with a messy egg and vegetable hash.

Also, what do you put in your omlettes /fit/? I add cheese, jalapenos, banana peppers, and sometimes some salmon if I have it.

I refuse to believe there are people who don't know how to make an omelette.

I could never get the hang of of it, so I stopped trying to flip and just stir once I drop the eggs in. Scrambled eggs with veggies tastes better anyway.

mix a little bit of water in the eggs pour in skillet. let cook take a fork and stir the egg on top dont touch bottom of pan with fork. itll start bubbling you can pick up the pan and move it around in a circle motion. it should be ready to add the ingredients you want then fold it over. I think the importance of stirring it is to maintain consistency through the egg as the heavier bits would settle and cook faster.

Perfect looking omelettes are pointless. Just eat the messy scrambled mess.

This is what you need in your life, /fit/izens.

I can't cook for shit so mine usually is half-scrambled.

Also /fit/ cooking thread? I'd suggest looking at the hayne's men's guide to cooking. Teaches you skills and what goes with what - there are some recipes to teach you these skills too. This way, you can confidentially have a clusterfuck in the kitchen and it still tastes edible

It sounds to me like OP is actually asking "how do you FLIP an omelette" because nobody can be too stupid to cook a flat circle of eggs in a frying pan

That's a very good video, Thanks Britbong.

he's probably doing it too early so it breaks apart. You don't really need to flip it. Rather, pepin doesn't. But if he wants to flip the omelette:

>use fork/spoon to scrape around entire edge of omelette when it's cooked and crispy, giving a base to work from

>using spatula/<wide, flat instrument>, try and shove implement under the omelette. Shake pan for better results.

>If you want to flip entirely, get about 3/4 across the omelette. In a fluid motion, tilt pan and get omelette so it is only slightly touching the pan and twist your arm with implement/omelette into the pan, as you slowly twist your pan-arm away from the implement.

>Having the pan on a tilt means it is easier to fish the omelette onto the spatula and there's less 'air-time' for the omelette

>Twisting your pan arm away from the omelette cushions the blow so you don't get oil in your eyes and blind yourself

>Done properly, you should have only fucked up slightly with the little edge of the omelette which hopefully never actually left the pan - run spatula from other side to sort it out.

>Folding in half is a similar thing, just have less omelette on the spatula and more omelette staying in the pan as you flip the 'top' half.

Hopefully the above makes sense to OP, if that's what he was trying to ask

Prepare your ingredients first. Shred your cheese, dice your veggies, chop any meats you want to use.

Then put some olive or vegetable oil in your frying pan and turn it up to high heat to get it good and hot. Whip two eggs (two eggs will make a perfect omlette) in a bowl and add nothing else. No milk, no water, trust me. Definitely don't add milk, that will fuck your consistency up.

Turn the pan down to a medium low heat, add the whipped eggs. Place your cheese in a line across the middle of the eggs almost immediately. Give them a few seconds to begin melting and then add your remaining ingredients.

By this time the omlette should be about ready to fold. You should see the runny shit in the top layer beginning to form solids. If you don't just wait a bit longer, don't be afraid to gently slide your spatula under the eggs to prevent sticking.

Finally, fold the omlette. At this point it is basically ready to eat. Hold the pan over the plate at an angle and gently slide the omlette onto the plate to preserve its shape.

Enjoy.

Also try to use a moderately sized pan. One thats about 8 inches across should do.
