My omelet making experience was through the military. For 4 years I cook breakfast, but before we opened the “chow line” I always made my own omelet the way I wanted. To this day, I am little arrogant when I go out eat breakfast foods, no one has made an omelet as mouth-watering as I.

Sorry to disagree, but a “perfect” omelet should not be browned. It should be the color of eggs only and should not be dry. Secondly, it should be cooked relatively quickly at medium to medium-high heat rather than low heat. And who wants a crispy border to an omelet?

If I may suggest something…
To add fluffiness to your egg, if you like, instead of adding milk to the mixture add water.

Hey, don’t worry about it. I was in a big rush this morning and despite my best efforts my omelet came out overcooked. So I’m going to make a good one on Sunday morning.

Holy cow… I forgot you were in Arizona, that fricken hot!!!

What I was going to suggest is that we can meet afternoon my time or something and let the public choose a winner, that way we can post them at the same time.

Fire me a mail or something and we can battle it out omelet style!

Haha, they do have stories of people cooking eggs on the sidewalk. I have never tried it but it could probably be done as a pan on the asphault would probably heat up way past 150 degrees (F) in the summertime.

lol… this could turn into the scissors, paper, stone of the internet… keep cooking different omlets and posting them each weekend to see who does the best!

I know you were talking about cooking slowly but man that is way longer than 15mins… are you cooking purely on the heat off the sun and using a flat boulder?

Why don’t we call it The Great Omelet Cookoff and make it a weekend event. You have all weekend to cook an omelet that will inspire the troops.

Then on Monday we post the pictures.

See I think you have an unfair advantage because I will have cooked and posted mine before you are even awake. You could copy and tweak mine lol…

Thanks Armand! Glad you’re enjoying the topics. I don’t think i have ever tried putting garlic in my eggs. I’ll have to give that a try.

Alan: You’re on! I’m making mine on Saturday. This should be fun.

I love cooking omelets too, I think we should have a cook off and show off our omlets… what do you think?

I pride myself on being a master chef (trained even!) and low heat is great advice. Omelets can be simple or real complex, but the magic is in the preparation. A dash of adobo or fresh garlic or grilled veggies is never a disappointment. I always use shredded cheddar or pepperjack as a final embellishment.

Way to go on the topics Chris. My favorite blog hands down.
