When we had the Copper Mine Restaurant, I was the omelet chef. I believe
there are a couple of secrets to making a delicious omelet. One,
whip the eggs in a blender. Even a whisk can’t do what a blender can.
While whipping, add a little iced water, about a tablespoon per two
eggs.
I always cook
my omelets in olive oil. Butter tends to burn, and I love the
flavor of olive oil, plus it is much healthier. I prefer to sauté
the ingredients in a separate pan, then add to the omelet after the
first side has been cooked and turned over. Lay the ingredients
over the cooked side, as the underside continues to cook. This is
also a good time to add shredded cheese. Or my favorite, cream
cheese! Then fold the omelet, securing the added ingredients
inside. So good!
