My favorite breakfast is a five-egg omelet with spicy turkey sausage, lots of cheese, and red peppers.  Yum.

Yes Spike is right, Pam spray is the solution to your omelet-making needs.

It also helps to have a large (i.e. very wide) pan I've found.

That sounds good too tbomz

It's hard to make a bad omelet, really.

(1) eggs
(2) meat
(3) cheese
(4) some sort of vegetable

All good!

Include shrimp with your eggs!  And sprinkle lots of cheese on as soon as it's done so that it melts over the omelette but isn't mixed in

Well, you gotta break a few eggs.  ;D

Keep the heat low so the top gets to cook before the bottom gets too crispy.  Use butter in a nonstick pan.  Don't try to make a 6 egg omelette in an 8" pan.  Too thick and you'll be screwed.  Saute ingredients separately that would have difficulty cooking 'en omelette,' like mushrooms, onions, sausage, etc.  This also lets you add more flavor by way of seasonings or sauces to the filling.  Don't forget to season the eggs with salt and pepper.  Whisk in some cream if you're not dieting, and fresh herbs mixed in will add flavor and a nice appearance.

I once made a 'French style' one where you whip the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them into the whipped yolks and fillings, although this was more like a souffle than an omelette, as I think of it.  The Spanish tortilla style omelette, heavy on potatoes, is good too, especially with a fresh salsa (good on any omelette).

An omelette pan would produce a flawless fold every time but they probably don't make 'em big enough for you monsters and who the fuck needs an omelette pan anyway. 

Chopped chives make a good garnish.  'Bon Appetite, Gene.'

Cook on a lower heat, cover the pan to let the top side cook some before you flip it.  Makes all the difference.  If I'm not in a hurry I will take the pan off of the burner once its cooked a few minutes to let the top cook a little more. Low heat is the key so the bottom doesn't cook too quickly.

BAD BAD BAD INFO.  You need a smoking hot pan that is greased up.  Put the eggs in and start to stir and swirl.  Omlettes don't and shouldn't take long.  The only reason why it would scorch is that they put way too much eggs for the size of the pan.  Also you need to made an onlet almost like you are making scrambled eggs.  The final liquid part is what makes it an omlette.  Add your toppings and fold on the way to the plate.  Don't fold in the pan.

That's just the way I do it.  I'm sure there are other ways.  I've always gotten compliments when cooking them.

Agree that overloading a small pan is bad news but I prefer my omelettes more substantial than a crepe which means moderating the heat.  Also means no burnt butter or oil.

Do I need to mention that guy makes Richard Simmons look like Clint Eastwood?  Fruit should have just told her you never microwave bread.  He's unfit to wear that apron!  >:(

Welcome to the omelette, Colby.
