The Glade 4.0

So I made an ommelette for breakfast this morning that was perfect. Not really due to the fillings as I just had ham, cheese, and salsa. It was the actual egg part that I've never got right before. It was always flat, or it would just fall apart. But today it was light and fluffy and perfectly folded.

I was expecting pictures



What'd you do right this time? Lemme guess, properly preheating and extremely low temperature was part of it?

Congrats! Isn't it great when the omelet gods smile on you? Such a simple concept, but a when it comes together it's much greater than the sum of its humble parts. Think this was a fluke, or do you have the technique now?

I, too, would have liked pictures.

I wish I would have thought to take pictures. I was just shocked it came out right. Two things I did differently, I actually kept the heat a but higher (medium) and I got the flip down.

I do omelets over high heat, but I like my eggs browned. The flip is a glorious thing... it makes you feel like an iron chef every time. I always imagine a cheering crowd in the background.

I'm undecided as to which type of omelette I prefer. The single fold, fluffy type, or the thin four-fold type. I use my flat-top for the multi-fold, but a saute pan for the single fold-and-flip.

Best. Omelet. Ever.

I use the bi-fold. I learned omelette prep from Alton Brown on Good Eats. Never make a bad French omelette anymore. All it requires are eggs, salt, pepper, whatever as a filling, and high heat. Ocassionally I'll make fritatas, but I prefer the consistency of a good French omelette.

My folks had one of these:


The early training I received about how an omelette should look was heavily influenced by that contraption.
My wife'll make frittatas, being Italian and all, her mom used to make them all the time on Sundays. I still prefer omelettes.

I feel almost dizzy... in the span of just a few posts you guys have touched on both extreme ends of my belief spectrum when it comes to making omelette's.
