Basic French Omelet
Recipe By : The Best Of Family Circle Cookbook
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Breakfast
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tsp olive oil
6 egg whites -- whipped
1 tbsp water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Heat oil over high heat in a skillet with a rounded bottom and sloping
sides. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites, water, salt, and black pepper
together, using a fork. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook over
moderately high heat until the bottom is set. Using a heatproof spatula,
move the cooked mixture to the center and allow the uncooked mixture to
flow into the bottom of the pan. When cooked, the omelet should be barely
brown on the bottom, soft and moist in the center. Spoon the filling down
the center of the omelet (*see note). Using a spatula and starting from the
handle side, fold one third of the omelet over the center. With a heated
serving plate in one hand, grasp the skillet in the other, palm up and tilt
so the omelet rolls over onto the plate.

Irrespective of the ingredients, this a fool-proof way to end up with a fluffy omlette which doesn't stick. You do need a pan with a lid, though. Once the fried ingredients (onion, bacon, mushrooms, potatoes, whatever) are done, add the beaten egg mixture and turn the heat down as low as it will go. Put the lid on and leave it for 10 - yes, 10! - minutes. With a couple of minutes to go, turn on the grill. After the 10 minutes, take off the lid, add any topping (grated cheese, tomatoes) and put it under the grille until golden brown. Even on my well-worn non-stick pan, it works every time.
Another tip is not to add salt to the eggs - it makes them go rubbery.

I think the main ingredient is eggs - with a small quantity of water/milk added. The eggs are beaten to mix the white and yolk in together and heated in a hot pan (containing cooking oil of some time) and then the cheese and ham are added until the whole mixture stiffens and if you are really clever you can flick the omelette in half in the pan and then flip the whole thing over too - the omelette needs to be a light brown and quite firm to ensure it is properly cooked - you don't want the mixture still runny at all. Onions go well in omelettes too!

I personally like bacon fried in some onion, with spinach and feta cheese! mmmm as a filling
I make the best omlettes, but it took a lot of practice.
Instructions:
Mix 2 eggs with 2 x half an egg shell of water together. Add a pinch of salt.
Make sure you are using a non stick frying pan, a smaller pan works best! Heat the pan with a little butter and a little oil. Allow butter to melt.
Add egg and mixture to the pan and allow to settle. When the edges have cooked slightly, use a spatula to gently draw the edges to the centre. Allowing the uncooked edge to take its place. Do this North, South, East and West of the pan.
Leave the egg to settle for a little more, and then gently lift the pan up and 'twirl' the uncooked egg still in the middle around to the edges of the pan. Leave to cook for a few seconds.
Add your filling to one half of the 'egg pancake'. Leave for cheese to melt gently for about 30 seconds.
Gently lift the unfilled edge over to cover the filling. Press down on the omlette gently with your spatula. Leave for 20 seconds.
More people just add more eggs.. putting in half an eggshell of water for each egg.
ENJOY!

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl.
Whisk and add a pinch of salt and pepper (add some chili, herbs, or any other seasoning you like at this point).
Add a small amount of grated cheese.
Heat (on a medium heat) some butter (or oil) into a frying pan. And add the mixture.
Once the mixture it quite firm, flip it over.
Add som cheese+ham, fold in half.
Put on a plate and eat

Depends on how big you want you omelet to be.
I normally use two eggs, crack them into a small bowl & whip them with a fork, while I'm doing that, I have an egg pan heating on the stove with a little butter, pour the egg into the heated pan & allow it to cook, about one min. Then flip it over to allow the other side to cook. Once cooked place the cheese & ham in the middle & fold in half.
Hope this helped.

I hate my omelette's runny in the middle so I make mine this way;
warm your grill up as you need a grill too, 3 eggs, a good drop of single cream, beat them both together in a bowl, in a frying pan add bacon cut into small pieces, chopped onion, chopped tomato and cook them until tender, pour the beaten egg and cream over the mixture when its cooked on the underside place under the grill to cook on the top, it makes the omelette's rise and its nicer that way, serves two or one if your hungry.

I've used this one in literacy hour for writing instructions, but it can be used across the board to get children to think carefully about logical sequence. I have used it with reception children, but I think it would work throughout primary years. Ask the class for help with making a sandwich. (Any kind of sandwich, bearing in mind that too complicated a filling will result in loads of mess)! Have all the ingredients ready and ask the class what to do. Do EXACTLY what they tell you - ie "Put the butter on the bread." - Put the unopened butter on the unopened bread. Obviously, the children will realise that they need to give clearer instructions. Keep going until finished. Word of warning --- the lesson can become raucous and messy - but it is great fun. This sort of lesson really appeals to early years children's sense of humour.

beat 3 eggs and season together place the mix in hot omlette pan or frying pan then stir mix around untill cooked . once cooked fold the omlette and hey prestow one omlette
if you want a filling ie cheese then put this in before you fold the omlette
if usuing faw food ie mushrooms or bacon cook this in the oil in the pan before adding the egg mix
remember dont add any milk as you will end up with scrambled egg instead
