American omelets are folded in half, whereas a French omelet is folded in thirds to encase its filling in a neat package. A professional chef folds an omelet and flips it out of the pan in one seamless motion, and you will, too, once you understand the following simple steps.
- Stir the eggs until they are nearly set. Stop stirring and let the bottom of the omelet firm slightly.
- Place the filling, if using, across the center of the omelet.
- Push the omelet forward so the opposite side rises up.
