How do YOU make cheese omelettes?

[AngeloMysterioso]

I’ve got a mad craving for a cheese omelette but I’ve never been able to crack it, mine always end up being a gooey mess. Anyone got a foolproof method?

Hot foaming butter in pan. Tip in 2-3 eggs that have been whisked with salt and pepper. Cook while pulling in the edges and tipping the pan etc to make sure it all cooks evenly. Scatter grated cheddar (and shredded ham) over the top with a bit more seasoning. NO GRILLING! Tip out onto plate and fold in half while still gooey and slightly under 🤤

Pretty much like buscake, although I don't like it too runny in the middle.

Heat butter in pan, crack in 2 eggs and immediately give them a really good swirl with a wooden spoon, continue to draw in edges with spoon till nearly set. Handful of grated cheese, fold over, leave in pan for a minute or so and slide out, so it's melty and soft in the middle, I hate dry omelettes. No milk, no whisking, no flipping, no grilling.

I finish off under the grill too, but not too much as I like it soft. I also never put veg or anything in the omelette. Instead I fry the mushrooms or courgette separately, then pile it on top of the finished omelette and fold the omelette over. I just prefer the texture that way. Plus you can grill the bacon until it's really crispy which makes a nice contrast to the softness of the omelette.

I too grill the top. Three eggs, splash of milk and whisk. Fry onion and bacon, add egg mixture, leave to cook for a while, then add grated cheese, leave for a shorter while, bung under grill till cheese is brown and lovely. Slide onto plate, enjoy with hash brown, BBQ sauce and a cup of tea

No milk! Grill! All puffy and cheese is totally gooey and melted.

Handful of chopped spring onions adds crunch. Extra extra mature slightly grainy cheddar.

2 large eggs and a dash of cream whisked together. Hot oil in a non-stick pan. Pour in egg/cream - don't touch it except to burst bubbles when they pop up. After a min or 2, shake the pan to stop it sticking. Lift edges gently to see if its brown. If so, flip over. If you are not a confident flipper, shove the pan under the grill for a min instead. Sprinkle grated cheddar/parmesan mix over it. Return to grill to melt. Fold in half on a hot plate. Eat.

High flame, hot pan, foamy butter, beaten eggs (salt and pepper). Swirl, swirl, flick, swirl, flick, swirl. Grated cheese. Flip, flip, slide, tip. Herbs.

No Flipping.

Raging heathens, the lot of you.

Is it not a bit leathery if it's flipped or grilled?

A proper omelette has some liquid egg in the middle, or at the very least, some just-set wobbly egg. If you flip it over, don't you end up cooking that bit?

I grill it so it's still a bit runny, just enough to melt not brown the cheese. Otherwise I find the bottom cooks too much by the time the cheese is melted.

Three eggs, black pepper, pinch of herbs de Provence. Heat pan and 2 tbsp oil to hot, turn down heat to half and add eggs, swirl and leave to 3/4 cook, add cheese, fold and serve once cooked through, takes 2-3 mins

I bought an omelette maker 🙈

But I have a little frying pan. Spray it with fry light or oil. Put in 2 beaten eggs, leave until the first side has cooked then gently loosen and flip. Then add the cheese the melt on the heat.

This sounds more like you're on Strictly Come Dancing [grin[

Heat pan. Melt walnut sized lump of butter until foaming. Beat three eggs lightly with a good grind of pepper and tip into the pan. Stir the eggs briefly to coat the bottom of the pan, then lift the edges, letting the raw egg flow underneath. Repeat as the egg sets. When the omelette is almost cooked, scatter over a good handful of the cheese you prefer (I like Emmenthal or Gruyère), then roll one side into the centre and roll out of the pan onto a warm plate.

Almost takes longer to type than to cook!

Just made one and it’s yummy I did what I do with grilled cheese sandwiches, when the outside of the omelette was cooked enough I took the pan off the head and covered it with a plate, so the heat stays in and melts the cheese but the egg doesn’t keep cooking. Worked like a charm!

I do think I used too much cheese though

Flipping?
Grilling?

After many attempts I can honestly say I have now perfected it.....
