Three Cheese Omelette
1 ounce melted butter
3 large eggs, beaten well
1-ounce mild cheddar, shredded
1-ounce aged provolone, diced
1-ounce aged Swiss, diced
Using an 8-inch, non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add beaten eggs. Add the eggs begin to coagulate, add the 3 cheeses evenly over the eggs. As cheese begins to melt, and before the eggs get brown, flip or turn egg mixture over. Continue to cook until the cheese melts. Turn omelette 1 more time. The finished omelette will be a nice yellow color with the cheese melted. Serve immediately
Western Omelette
French omeletts are smooth and sunny yellow with the filling rolled neatly inside. This is a western American-style omelet; the goodies are mixed up with the egg and given a good tanning in the pan.
12 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 ounces boiled ham (in one piece), cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions (white and green), roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated white cheese (about 2 ounces), such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Gouda (optional)
In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set.
Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all.
Cook's Note: If you like your eggs well-done, cover the pan with the lid after you've smoothed over the eggs, and let it rest for 30 seconds.
hope these help. enjoy.

I have a very simple way to make a perfectly shaped omelette.
Crack 2-3 eggs into a ziploc sandwich bag, about 1 tsp. milk, cheese and any other ingredients you want.
Seal the bag, trying to get all the air out. Smash it with your hands to combine all the ingredients. Place the bag in a pot of boiling water for about 11-15 minutes. Open the bag and tear down the seams, place it on a plate, sprinkle some cheese on top and you have the perfect omlette!

I don't use milk in my omelettes otherwise they fall apart to easy. By not using milk the omelette stays together when I flip it.

You take however many eggs you want and scramble them in a bowl, add milk. Then you pour it into a frying pan, let it cook awhile. Add tomatoes, onions and ham. Flip it over, add the cheese and your done!

mix any thing you want in your omelette, heat up your pan. when it is very hot, just pour the egg mix and flip over when it is almost done. i usually pour half the mixture, when it almost sets, i add cheese, and pour the remaining mixture. the cheese will melt and it won't burn.

Try using water instead of milk....it evaporates more quickly, and your eggs are firmer when cooked.

The secret is..
Do NOT add milk or water.
make your omelet like you usually do.
Milk will make it stick and water will make it runny.
