How to Make an Omelet

While it’s true that the simplest dishes are often the most difficult to make, we think there is an unnecessary amount of fuss made concerning omelet making. At the bottom line, an omelet is nothing more than eggs, butter, and body English. Fillings, toppings, and garnishes can enhance the finished product, but won’t disguise an over-beaten, overcooked, or poorly formed disaster. In other words, it all begins with the egg and ends with technique. Once you have managed to turn out a perfectly cooked, golden-brown oval of an omelet, the rest will take care of itself.
