How do you prefer your omelets? I think the ingredients should be mixed in with the egg and then cooked that way. But everywhere I order them, they cook the egg separately, then fold the egg over the ingredients. That's not an omelet, that's stuff wrapped with egg.

Cooked together.

I start by adding my meats/veggies to the pan, searing/cooking them, and then add the egg around and with the ingredients.

I think all items should be cooked together with the egg, however if the cheese is a melting cheese, it should be sealed in the foldover..

I've never noticed a difference and it's easier for me to throw em on top and fold it over. I suck at making omelettes anyway. No matter what i do they fall a apart anyway so I just pick out pieces of egg and veggies and eat them together.

And I don't need pointers. I eat egg white omelettes anyway. It's purely for health and not for enjoyment.

I think that the fillings should be added as the egg is just settling, not before and not after. If it's something like onion and peppers, they should be sauteed separately and then added to the eggs during cooking.

The omelet in the first pic is way overcooked. The bottom pic has well cooked eggs but like you mentioned the stuff in the middle is just sitting there like a taco. There's got to be a happy medium.

This. I picked foldover simply for the cheese factor. The other stuff should be cooked in, but the cheese needs its own pocket of deliciousness. Plus the foldover tends to get you more food if you want a bigger meal. Cooking everything in the egg is just so puny. I'M A BIG MAN AND I NEED A BIG SHREDDER.

I have heard that traditionally, an omelette is an omelette because the ingredients are not part of the egg itself but are inside the fold.

When the ingredients are cooked with the egg, you have a frittata.

Why don't you just put cooked egg on one plate with cheese on it, then a bunch of other cooked crap on another. Because that's basically the same thing.

And it's not scrambled eggs because you're not scrambling the eggs.

What you guys are basically describing is if I cook a couple of eggs and fold one over on a piece of bacon, its suddenly an omelet.

My omelets aren't openfaced, so they're not frittatas (though the pic is). I cook everything together in a pan, add cheese, then fold onto a plate.

Im not sure I understand the distinction being made here. Are you saying that the filling to be poured into the pan with the egg in order for it to be considered an omelet? I always pour the eggs in, chop up the filling then throw it in while the egg on top is still "wet". It is in the middle of the omelet but it's still cooked into the egg.

My "Professional Cooking" Textbook (and my culinary arts professors) confirms that a proper omelets are eggs that are cooked until almost complete, filled, then folded.

Two folds = French Omelet

One Fold = American Omelet

http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/928/700818.JPG

The other items you put in an omelet are called "Fillings" for a reason. Otherwise it is just a "Scramble". Just folding something doesn't make it an omelet.

I am the omlet king at our house and I use Egg Beaters for low cholesterol and they work fine. I make sure the pan is warm but not hot, then add the eggs, then stuff like mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and lastly cheese. The trick is that you gotta cover it with a lid so the veggies and cheese get the heat too. One fold, right at the end. You can kind of poke some of the ingredients down into the egg when you put them in for kind of half way between totally mixed in and laying on top. Using a lid will help the egg rise around the stuff too.

Scrambled eggs refer to the eggs being scrambled before being cooked, not while they are being cooked. So yes, you use scrambled eggs to make both an omelet and a fritata, it's just the preparation that is different.

But that's what you're saying. You're saying if you cook fish in a pan and egg in another pan and then fold the egg around the fish, its suddenly an omelet.

Yes, that would be a fish omelet. Unless it's cheese (obviously), you should cook the fillings separately, in order to ensure they are fully cooked and to keep the moisture that is released from the fillings from making your omelet soggy.

A true omelette needs to have some kind of pocket containing most of the extra ingrediants and the cheese. Simply mixing all that into the egg is not an omelette. Only folding it over is not an omelette. The trick is seal the pocket shut or, ideally, to basically weld two layers of eggs together with all the deliciousness trapped between them. THAT is an omelette. An omelette should be an epic dish. Most of you namby-pambies are describing something you'd nibble on at a brunch. The omelette should be a meal unto itself.

From Julia Child's Mastering The Art Of French Cooking. As far as I'm concerned, she's the authority.

Bon Appetit (http://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/authors/child/recipe.html)

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of any of the following cooked ingredients over the eggs after they have set for 2 or 3 seconds in the pan at the point indicated in either of the two omelette recipes, then proceed with the omelette as usual:

* Diced sauteed potatoes and minced herbs
* Diced truffles
* Diced sauteed ham, chicken livers, or mushrooms
* Diced cooked asparagus tips or artichoke hearts
* Diced cooked shrimp, crab, or lobster
* Cubes of stale white bread sautéed in butter

then proceed with the omelette as usual

MEANING WHAT?!?

silks
06-05-2009, 07:24 AM
MEANING WHAT?!?

Hold the panhandle with your left hand, thumb on top, and immediately start sliding the pan back and forth rapidly over the heat. At the same time, fork in right hand, its flat side against the bottom of the pan, stir the eggs quickly to spread them continuously all over the bottom of the pan as they thicken. In 3 or 4 seconds they will become a light, broken custard. (A filling would go in at this point.)

Then lift the handle of the pan to tilt it at a 45-degree angle over the heat, and rapidly gather the eggs at the far lip of the pan with the back of your fork. Still holding the pan tilted over the heat, run your fork around the lip of the pan under the far edge of the omelette to be sure it has not adhered to the pan.

Give 4 or 5 short, sharp blows on the handle of the pan with your right fist to loosen the omelette and make the far edge curl over onto itself.
Hold the pan tilted over heat for 1 or 2 seconds to brown the bottom of the omelette very lightly, but not too long or the eggs will overcook. The center of the omelette should remain soft and creamy.

Turn the omelette onto the plate as illustrated on page 128, rub the top with a bit of butter, and serve as soon as possible.


There is nothing about stuffing shit in the middle at this point.

Not a chef, but I already posted

Oh, I agree with you 100%. I posted the same. But I think these ham and eggers needs confirmation from an "expert".

I can't take this...an omelet is an omelet. Scrambled and cooked eggs folded with fillings. You may prefer something else, but assure you it is not a proper omelet.

Aren't there any chefs on this board that confirm what I learned in culinary class?

3-4 eggs, not 2, and use a lil Olive Oil instead of the dreaded butter. Bacon and cheese are a must to be put in the omelet and as a garnish on top of the omelet, everything else is extra goodness.

Fuck you egg white creeps, either eat the egg or don't eat the egg..

A 6 egg omelete would take a pan the size of a kids "flying saucer" snow disk to properly prepare. (and probably a stick of butter to have it release properly)

I used to get the 6 egg omelet at an Italian place I used to go to. He'd use a huge frying pan and just cook it under what I believe was a broiler. It was pretty bad ass.

My chef friend is currently away on vacation. When he gets back, I'll get his definition.

If he doesn't endorse the pocket of ultimate flavor, never again eat anything that that savage butcher makes.

He's french and a trained chef. The man has never cooked anything that wasn't excellent.

This will be the test. If he does not know how to make omelettes he is a fraud.

I just ate an egg beater omlette with sliced black olives, diced red pepper, pepper jack cheese, a lil Cholula hot sauce and a sprinkle of Cavender's Greek Seasoning and it was fucking good. Mix it all together and cook. The alternative is more like an egg/pita sammich.

Is there anything more disappointing than going to a brunch and finding there's no omelet station?

american cheese belongs nowhere near that dish, they should be fine'd . ill sign on for the spagehti sauce only if its of the dark / roasted variety.

there is nothing "old world" about american cheese- truley savage.

Generally I like mixed, but I had omeletes for breakfast today and yesterday that were wrapped, and they were fantastic.

So I'm on the fence.

In Spain and France, their omelets have everything mixed in. But they're also baked in a cake pan. They were awesome.
