January 8, 2007 I cook breakfast for guests on my deck which overlooks a lake. After a recent conference where I visited the Omelette Chef every morning, (yum) I decided to introduce them to my rather predictable menu. My daughter gave me a non stick omelette pan for Christmas and while scouring the net, came upon your recipe. I just loved the pictures and knew I could do it! My first attempt... no, my second (I added chocolate milk by mistake and decided not to proceed) was outstanding. The edges are the key and it all went as planned. I look forward to more success and maybe some experimentation. As for the chocolate milk? maybe you could let us know. Chef Dennis Wagga Wagga Australia December 11, 2006 Hi there! I thought I'd add to the slew of emails you get about your omelette instructions. I've been craving a veggie omelette for weeks! Never have I thought I'd be able to achieve a perfect omelette on my own. I'm more of a baker, you see. I googled and found your page, however, and gave it a try. It turned out insanely perfect. I'm prouder than a peacock! ;) Used 3 eggs, no milk, no butter. Fillings were colby jack cheese, fresh chopped veggies (mushrooms, roma tomato, white onion, green onion), and jalapenos. All topped off with salsa. Thanks for the help! H. from Houston November 10, 2006 My mom was craving an omelette, so I decided to search the internet for instructions on how to cook one. I've made several attempts in the past, and they came out... well, ok. I think I found your website at wikipedia.org, and I was very impressed with the fact that you had lots of pictures. Following your advice, I made my mom and myself PERFECT omelettes thanks to your excellent instructions! I like Western style omelettes, so I used canadian bacon, onion, green pepper, tomato and cheddar cheese. My mom wanted the same ingredients, but with mushroom added in hers. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... :-) David October 31, 2006 ...In the past, I have always made runny omelettes that were burnt. I could never figure out how to fold it over right without it falling apart, but now I see that I was simply not waiting long enough for the omelette to cook, and not using cooking spray, either. Thanks for the pics, too. They helped. Oh, and I liked the humor as well. Sincerely, Paula October 4, 2006 (follow-up) Now I'm full. I ate the omelet. It was perfect. I'm on a high protein diet. This will sound gross but I added tuna. Think tuna melt. Either way, the eggbeater stuff worked. Tony October 4, 2006 I searched for, "how to make the perfect omelet". Knowing someone, for some reason, would make a page like yours... Anyway, I'm about to make the omelet and wanted to thank you for the recipe. I couldn't have found better instructions with pictures. Now let's hope this works well with egg beaters which im sure you call "craziness", but thats my diet. :) I'm 37 and have been using the internet before anyone I know and I'm still amazed that I'm learning to make an omelet 3 minutes after I got the idea, from someone in Texas. thanks! Tony in Baltimore September 23, 2006 Thanks, easy instructions, beautiful pictures -- you're my EMERIL! "Karmic" September 6, 2006 Yoooooooooo whats up PG... "Lord of the Omelets" over here... I hail from St. Catharines Ont. Canada and I have started experimenting with eggs since the time before the last time I went up north with a few buddies on a camping/fishing trip (am somewhat of an egg-fanatic I guess you could say and now the omelet king of my area) yeah so thank you, I am eating my fresh omelet right now: "budding honey ham", onions and green peppers - can't forget the cheese(grated this time)... thank you... Dave p.s. this Omelet f--king rules September 2, 2006 Hello, I'm a male college student with essentially no cooking experience whatsoever. After a little bit of Googling, I stumpled upon your site and followed the omelette directions. I just wanted to let you know that your directions were excellent, and it came out delicious. Thanks for helping out a lonely bachelor! Sincerely, David B. July 27, 2006 Hi! I found your website a few months ago. I hate to cook but I love to eat. I had never made an omelete before and your website was great comfort. Unfortunately, when I attempted to make the omelete, I forgot to spray the pan and ended up with a yummy scrambled egg and veggie dish. Well, it's been some time now and I've had your website in my head. I have been craving an omelete and tonight I finally had the gumption to actually make one! I found your website easily again on google and thanks to you, I just made a perfect omelete on my first try ever! The only thing I did wrong was that I filled it too full! That was okay. It didn't close all the way but it still tasted great. Thank you SO much. Us non-cookers out there really appreciate the work you put into your website!!! Collin, Chicago, IL June 28, 2006 Just a quick stop by to say Thanks! I make all kinds of eggs all the time but I guess I had never really made a proper omelet before. Your recipe for a simple 3 egg omelet was just perfect! Love the way you create egg handles to fold it over. Cheers! David June 11, 2006 OMG....i did everything you said to a T and you know what? I'll tell ya what! My omelette was stunning!!!! Thank you. Jim April 25, 2006 i just made one for the first time following your directions and it came out perfect!!!! wow!!! excellent clear and practical i am so excited! "Shmoopi" February 19, 2006 I just made a cheese and pepperoni omelet using your recipe and am eating it right now. I don't know why, but pepperoni was the first thing I thought of other than cheese, and it turned out really good. Your page was also the first one that came up in a google search for "how to make cheese omelet," so it must be popular, and I can see why! I loved it so much I just wanted to say thanks for posting it. Gary December 20, 2005 I've been cooking omelettes for years (with/without milk), & I have to say I am most impressed with your website on the 'how to' instructions (& photographs too!). Perfect for both cooks & 1st-timers. Brilliant and well done! ~ Andrew December 11, 2005 Thanks, a lot this is soooo perfect, I always mess up when preparing omelets and I am a caterer and food service director for a college, but I have chefs/cooks to prepare all of my meals, but I wanted to try it on my own. I can cook anything else but omelets and pie crust, any suggestions on pie crust? Again, thanks for your help, also I loved the illustrations and photos and the simple how to directions. Sheena E. Marshall, TX May 23, 2005 "Just wanted to thank you for the fabulous egg-structions! My very first omelet...and it was perfect. Keep up the good work!" ~ Gwen P. January 21, 2005 "Hi Pineapple Girl- I just finished eating 'The Perfect Omelet' for lunch (no milk and farmer's cheese)! Thank you very much for the detailed instructions! ...My mother hated frying of any sort in her house and REALLY hates eggs. I went on to meet my husband at 18...he REALLY, REALLY hates eggs. I couldn't even EAT them in his presence, until recently, much less make them. I have been deprived of the knowledge of making eggs all my life!! I know...it's sad. Anyway, I made some brownies last week and had some eggs leftover. He will be late tonight so I have time to 'get the smell out' before he gets home. I searched how to make an omelet and found you! It certainly was perfect and I just wanted to thank you. I've secretly tried to make them before and they turned into scrambled eggs. Every other method I tried was some kind of 'move it around with a fork'. Your swirl is the answer! ... Have a great weekend and thanks again!!!" ~ Tara January 16, 2005 "Hi! It's our 9th anniversary tomorrow and I wanted to make my wife something special for breakfast. I thought making omelets would be cool so I looked it up on the internet. Your website was the best because it had detailed instructions AND pictures! So while she is at work tonight I did a practice run and it came out great and looked just like your picture. Everything worked just like you said it would from the swishing to the edges pealing away. I feared the folding over the most worrying it would break or fall apart but it didn't. And it slid right out of the pan on the plate. 45 years old and my first omelet! Thank you so very much!" ~ Mike April 23, 2003 Perfect omelet indeed! (And no, that's not sarcasm.) :) Just made myself an omelet as per your instructions, and thought I'd say thanks for the help. Yours is the kind of site that makes the internet what it should be. Aaron April 1, 2003 hi :-) i almost never send emails out to people that maintain websites and stuff. but when i do, its because you helped me out when i really needed it or you did something so fantastic, i have to let you know. you kind of did both. i was hungry this morning and i didnt want to eat cereal or make scrambled eggs. so it got into me to make an omelette. i know somewhat how to make it but i'm not really sure. so i searched the web and i found your site. wow! you even had pictures! *lol* well i just wanted to say thanx. mine didn't come out as good as yours (i wasnt sure when i should lift the omelette so its kind of... dark brown. but its only a thin layer so its not that bad) but it's nearly perfect :-P i just wanted to say thanx and that you have the BEST instructions :-) Paula January 23, 2003 I just made an omelet following your instructions. And it was mighty tasty! Thanks! -Monty
