Yes, I will probably add some parmesan, and chives. I bought some dried chives, as I was sick of them going over.

Re: Omelettes

Omelettes are dead easy to make in an egg pan. (the kind with sloping sides).

All you need is a well seasoned egg pan, and a heat proof rubber spatula, and just a little bit of practice.

Heat egg pan just until it is hot enough to instantly melt butter.

Immediately add beaten eggs. As the sides start to set, use the rubber spatula to move edges toward the center of pan. keep doing this until eggs are nearly done.

Add your choice of ingredients and flip one side of omelette over the top of the other side, covering the ingredients. Cook for a few seconds more and flip the entire omelette over. Side omelette on to plate.

Like anything else, it just takes a bit of practice and a good egg pan (NEVER A FRYING PAN).

Tip one key to success is having an egg pan that is not scratched or that has even a tiny bit of dried, stuck on egg. So wash pan but do not scrub it with abrasive scrubber.

Re: Omelettes

Wait...there is such a thing as an egg pan?? I never knew! I just use a regular frying pan

Edited to say I just checked it...yes I do have one that I use for poached eggs. I thought you meant something extra special, BM, because I have used that one for frying things in too...

So what is the difference between an egg pan and a frying pan? That picture you've posted of an egg pan looks very like a frying pan to me

Well, cooks refer to an egg pan when it is small enough for an omelette AND it has very SLOPING SIDES.

Usually, such a pan is referred to as a "saute pan". No doubt you have seen videos of cooks shaking the pan and flipping the food. That is a saute pan.

On the other hand, a frying pan has nearly vertical sides. A cast iron pan is a frying pan.

An egg pan is designed that way so the cook can flip eggs without the use of any implement.

Photos of frying pans. Notice the steep sides.

Some cooks may differ from me but I never, never use my egg pan for any other purpose.

Re: Omelettes

I'm an omelette maker. I can make perfect omelettes but that's because I have the perfect omelette pan. It's all down to having the right equipment and being very well organised!
