Combine eggs and milk in bowl; beat with fork or whisk until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Melt butter in 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling; pour egg mixture into hot skillet. Cook 30 seconds or until bottom is set. Run heat proof spatula around edge of pan, lifting edges of eggs and allowing uncooked portions to flow underneath. Tilt pan, if necessary. Continue cooking, lifting eggs as needed, 1-2 minutes or until almost set. Remove from heat. Sprinkle cheese over half of omelet. Carefully fold other side of omelet over cheese. Carefully slide omelet onto serving plate. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium until your hand feels warm when held about 2 inches above the surface. Add oil or butter, and swirl to coat the bottom of skillet evenly. Pour whisked eggs into skillet; let set slightly. With a heatproof flexible spatula, push eggs from edge toward center; tilt pan to let egg fill spaces. Repeat until omelet is just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese and scallion over half of the omelet, leaving the half closer to the skillet handle uncovered (to make it easier to remove from pan). Using the same spatula, gently fold omelet over filling. Tilt skillet, and slide filled omelet onto a serving plate (don’t worry if there are a few rips).

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then beat well with a fork until fully combined. Place a small non-stick frying pan on a low heat to warm up. Grate the cheese onto a board and set aside. Add ½ tablespoon of oil to the hot pan, then carefully pour in the eggs. Tilt the pan to spread them out evenly, using a fork to swirl the eggs around the pan a little. When the omelette begins to cook and firm up, but still has a little raw egg on top, sprinkle over the cheese. Using a spatula, ease around the edges of the omelette, then fold it over in half. When it starts to turn golden brown underneath, remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelette onto a plate. Delicious with a tomato salad and wholemeal bread.

Equipment: 9-inch non-stick skillet and an immersion blender Add oil to the skillet over high heat, and heat it until small hairline ripples appear on the surface of the oil. Break the eggs into tall glass or frappe cup and whisk to blend for 1 minute. (The Waffle House uses a 15,000 rpm malt shop mixer.) While moving the skillet in a circular motion, pour in the eggs. Continue to move the skillet in a circular motion, allowing the outside of the eggs to cook and fluff up. When the outside edges have firmly cooked, flip the omelet and cook on the other side for approximately 30 seconds. Keep moving the pan in a circular motion, but not as often as before it was flipped. (Too much movement at this time will cause the omelet to fall.) Flip the omelet once more to finish cooking–no more than 30 additional seconds. Overlap 2 slices of American cheese in the center of the omelet in a diamond shape. Fold the omelet in half, being certain to cover the cheese slices, and slide it onto your plate.

Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add milk and season with salt and white pepper. Whisk for a few minutes until egg mixture is foamy; beating in air makes the omelette fluffy. Melt butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and twirl skillet so bottom is evenly covered with egg. Cook for 1 minute until egg starts to set. Lift edges with a spatula and tilt the skillet so uncooked egg mixture can run towards the bottom of the skillet to set. Repeat until no visible liquid egg remains. Carefully flip omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle Emmentaler cheese in one line in the middle of the omelette and fold omelette in half. Cook for 20 seconds, then slide omelette onto plate.

Beat the eggs: Soak 3 large eggs for 5 minutes in hot-not scalding-tap water. This will ensure that the omelet cooks faster, and the faster an omelet cooks, the more tender it’s going to be. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or large bowl-shaped coffee mug. Season with a pinch of fine salt. Beat the eggs gently with a fork. TIP: I prefer a fork to a whisk for omelets because I don’t want to work air into the eggs: Air bubbles are insulators and can slow down cooking if you’re not careful. Heat the pan: Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon room-temperature unsalted butter. Once melted, spread the butter around the pan with a basting brush to ensure coverage. TIP: Heat your pan empty for a few minutes before adding the butter: Even a nonstick surface is pocked with microscopic pores that eggs can fill and grab hold of. Heat expands the metal, squeezing these openings shut. Add the eggs: Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula for 5 seconds. (Actually, it’s not so much a matter of stirring with the spatula as holding the spatula relatively still and moving the pan around to stir the eggs.) Let them cook: As soon as curds begin to form (that’s the stuff that looks like scrambled eggs), lift the pan and tilt it around until the excess liquid pours off the top of the curds and into the pan. Then use the spatula to shape the edge and make sure the omelet isn’t sticking. Move the spatula around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape it into a round and loosen the edge. Then walk away. That’s right-let that omelet sit unaccosted for 10 long seconds so it can develop a proper outer crust. Don’t worry: Your patience will be rewarded. Finish the omelet: Time for the “jiggle” step: Simply shake the pan gently to make sure the omelet is indeed free of the pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back toward you. Then use the spatula to fold over the one-third facing you. Change your grip on the pan handle from an overhand to an underhand and move to the plate, which you might want to lube with just a brief brushing of butter to make sure things don’t bind up in transit. Slide the one-third farthest from you onto the plate and then ease the fold over. Imagine that you’re making a tri-fold wallet out of eggs-because that’s exactly what you’re doing. And just ease the pan over. There, that wasn’t so hard.

Beat eggs and salt and pepper with fork in small bowl until thoroughly combined. Heat butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat when foaming subsides and butter just begins to color, pour in eggs. Cook until edges begin to set, 2-3 seconds, then, with rubber spatula, stir in circular motion until slightly thickened, about 20 seconds. Use spatula to pull cooked edges in toward center, then tilt pan to one side so that uncooked eggs run to edge of pan. Repeat until omelet is just set, but still moist on surface, about 20-25 seconds. Sprinkle cheese and filling, if using, down center of omelet, perpendicular. Remove skillet from burner. Use rubber spatula to fold lower third (nearest you) of omelet to center; press gently with spatula to secure seams, maintaining fold. Run spatula between outer edge of omelet and pan to loosen, jerk pan sharply toward you a few times to slide omelet up far side of pan,. Jerk pan again so that 2 inches of unfolded edge folds over itself, or use spatula to fold edge over. Invert omelet onto plate. Tidy edges with spatula, brush with melted butter, and serve,.

Using a fork, beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper. Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming;swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet. Sprinkle cheddar onto far side of omelet. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over cheese. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with chopped chives and serve, with sliced tomato sprinkled with salt and buttered toast, if desired.
