Hmm...I know what kind of fail lunch I'm having today.

You can tell me how it turns out

I made a critical mistake in deciding to make omlettes. I forgot that my roommate and I have no restraint when it comes to cooking food and despite all the warnings in this thread, we added all the delicious components of our fridge resulting in what would inevitably break. Menu change to scrambled eggs.

5 eggs
3 slices of pepperjack cheese
1 mushroom
1/4 an onion
1/2 cup of milk
a large portion of ham
and some spinach in hopes of being slightly healthy

all on top of some bread that was initially supposed to become a sandwich but another menu change was in order. I shall dub this atrocity Kaze Eggs

it was delicious.

i just plop everything in the pan, wait till the bottom is sorta crispy/solid, and then using a spatchela flip it around. it's just a skill you have to learn, like muta harass in BW
btw that ham looks awful...or is it just me?

I hate to tell you, but that doesn't look very appetizing. Without replays, it's hard to say where you went wrong. Oh wait...

My guess is that the pan was not hot enough when you were doing the egg. Both the oil and the pan must be hot to get it going.

-To whip up the egg, I personally use a fork and with repeated flicks of the wrist, then stir it up quickly.
- Glaze the entire pan with oil after the pan is hot. Do not let them stick to the pan, the eggs will quickly absorb some of your oil too.
- The cuts on the pepper and the ham looks quite big for an omelet.
- Have patience, gently start to peek at the edges (from all sides) to keep them from sticking, and watch the color. Try to turn it only once.

Fromage is... cheese isn't it? Do you put cheese in you omeletes? is it any good? is it something I should try from time to time?

Make sure the pan is big enough. I always have problems with super small pans, hard to get the angles right.

Bad spatula micro -.-", I use a electric skillet for cooking so do you think using fire+pan would be a better idea? Yeah I didn't dice it down alot...

How thick/thin do you tend to spread the egg?

I would say no thicker than quarter of an inch.

lol, it's from an episode of Dexter's Laboratory.

Everytime omelete is mentioned, I get flashbacks to that awesome show.

Gas stoves are always better, except that they're not allowed in apartments and such. I hate electric stoves, but I had no choice. You want to peek at the edges and start from there before you flip it. When you're crawling underneath your egg with the spatula, you're keeping it from sticking, and you're looking at the color to see the progress. Have progress and flip it once.

A bigger, flat spatula helps, but not necessary. If you break it, do damage control and don't break the rest.

Your chunks of ham and peppers look a little bit too big to be in an omelette. You should improve your opening a little by dicing it into slightly smaller pieces.

You have to be very careful with your spatula micro, it's like marines vs banelings or lurkers, one misclick and it's gg. I generally spread the egg all over the pan, then slowly prod at the sides of the creep egg with the spatula so that the runny bits at the top flow down and get cooked at the bottom of the pan. It helps a little in making the egg sheet a little thicker and you won't end up with raw runny egg on top/inside and cooked/burnt egg underneath.

Also, be sure to slow push cook the egg on medium heat, mb even medium-low so the bottom doesn't cook too fast compared to top.

Blast since you're into anime and all why don't you try making a japanese omelette? I think it was called omurice or something but I can't remember, but you won't have to deal with flipping the entire thing over. Plus it'll look a lot more appetizing... cause your breakfast looks awful.

Instead of using fried rice you can try wrapping it up with meat and veggies like a wrap but in the way Japanese people do it. It's really easy all you need to do is just place your inside ingredients on the dish and then plop the omelette on top and wrap it up using a paper towel. The key is to not overcook the omelette so that its easy to mold it into any shape you want, and when it cools it'll stay that way.

Also its important to note that they also add cream into the omelette mix, I don't know why but I think it might help keep the omelette from breaking.

And cheese is AWESOME with omelettes its so goood.

I've probably made over fifty omelettes this year between Feb. and May because they are so freaking amazing. To make a perfect omelette, it really takes a lot of practice, and there are a lot of variables in the equation

1. ingredients: what you pick is very important, if you choose hard ingredients, then your omelette is not going to turn out well. This, however, can easily be alleviated through finer chops and sauteing them before adding the beaten eggs. Ingredients that definitely need to be cooked for a while: onions and bell peppers.

2. quantity: the amount of ingredients you add to your omelette is crucial. Everyone wants to stuff as much as possible into the eggs, hey, bigger is better, but if you overstuff your omelette, it's certainly going to break. This takes a lot of practice to eyeball, and I think I broke through after fifteen or twenty.

3. eggs: adding milk to your eggs will give it more fluffiness, which will make flipping easier. However, if you add too much milk, it'll be very runny.

4. cooking technique: Control the temperature. I find cooking it on low-heat gives the best results. Also, covering the pan with a lid for a few seconds (similar to steaming almost) before flipping helps immensely. Later, I started broiling it briefly before flipping it over. This way, the middle of the omelette won't be runny (which I hate, but you might not).

cheese in omelette is a must

you can try various types of cheeses, which will offer distinct tastes to the omelette.

my personal favourite is fresh mozzarella, so freaking good.

Also, try adding a little bit of Tabasco sauce into the egg mixture while you beat it, it's amazing.

I haven't made omelettes in a long time.

But from what I can remember... using butter seemed to make the egg sturdier.

Also you have way too much stuff and it's not chopped into small enough pieces. If you really want a ton of shit you can try making two egg sheets (which cook really fast), and just sticking everything in between the sheets. Use cheese as an adhesive.

If you're not adding cheese to your letterbombs then you're an asshole.

Chrome corrects omelettes to letterbombs. Thanks chrome.

You put too many large chunks of ham and peppers into the omelet so that's why it tore up.
Try cutting stuff down into smaller chunks and adding a bit less overall.
