You don’t flip an omelette for Christ’s sake. And if you fry the filling in the same pan you cook your omelette in it will look horrible.

no flipping flipping needed just lower the heat and wait.the point is to have cooked outside & slightly gooey inside.use bits of ham,thin sliced tomato & loads of cheese so no prefrying either.bit of water in the eggs makes it lighter too.no salt.plus if you have a good non stick pan and a level cooking surface you don’t have to do the scraping bit either.basically that cartoon is totally wrong.

you stick it under the grill too?

nope.just add the filling,fold and whack up the temp for a few secs to melt the chesse..gas is handier for instant heat ..

Absolutely wrong way to cook an omelet and misses out on the most important information, butter and temperature. Also doesn’t sound like they know that there’s more than one type of omlete. Watch this for how to cook an omelet correctly
It’s inadvisable put salt into eggs before cooking as it makes them rubbery.
I mix the eggs on the pan, less even colour is nice.
I like to use a salty cheese instead of adding salt to the egg mix, the dublinner vintage is great for omelettes.
Oh ye I’d be a fan of that all right
Feta and goats work well.
There are some fine omelettes and some bad omelettes to be found around town on a weekend. I must research this more.
There is a place in Clonskeagh beside bombay pantry doing nice omelettes. Had a black pudding and pine nut omelette there recently and it was amazing.
Ohh, now you’ve let yourself in for a controversy!

Yummo to both. Jeekers, I’d ate a nun’s arse through a convent gate, I’m so hungry after watching that.
Have you tried a Portuguese omelette, munki?
