- Make the omelet -- Melt a pat of butter in a ceramic non-stick skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat pan. Pour eggs into ceramic non-stick skillet letting them spread out in pan. When eggs begin to set, push sides of omelet gently, allowing uncooked eggs to flow into ceramic non-stick skillet. When eggs are almost set but still look moist, add fillings. Carefully fold half the omelet over the fillings. Cook for an additional minute, them slide omelet onto plate. Enjoy!
Tips
Omelets are great for cleaning out the fridge. Use whatever you have on hand: asparagus, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini—it’s all good!
No need to attempt a fancy, chef-style omelet flip, simply slide a spatula under the unfilled side and fold over.
