abandon your quest to perfectly "fold" an omelet and just make scrambled eggs with some other shit mixed in there.

you're welcome :)

What you want to do is cook everything in a nonstick pan (e.g., cook your mushrooms in butter first, then add green peppers and tomatoes to the pan, then pour blended eggs over top of that, then top with cheese) and then dump the mixture, very slowly, out of the nonstick pan, folding it over ON THE PLATE as you dump. And there you have a perfectly folded, completely cooked, tasty omelet.

I believe this is closer to a frittata, as with an omelet the ingredients are between the folds of egg, and not mixed in with. But, yours sounds delicious.

1. Spray oil or butter your skillet. Unless you're making a very big omelet, use the smallest skillet you have (that will accommodate your spatula ( ... )

1a. Use teflon only.

got to beat the eggs good. mmkay. like with a fork at least 60 seconds, to get them all fluffy. and add a lil bit of milk.

then pour into pan on no more than medium heat, nonstick and all that goodness or yer screwed.

have all veggies or whatnots pre-chopped and drizzle them over the eggies immediately after pouring eggs into pan, add cheese and spices and whatnots (I recommend Mrs. Dash or something else that takes all the work out of it).

Then just cook slowly and use a spatula to flop one side over the other once it firms up. Let cook a few more minutes then flip again. If it falls apart, squish it all up and have good scrambled eggs, as suggested above.

It's truly an art.
