Imagine my surprise...

... when I was suddenly put in charge of an omelette station for about 40 guests. Keep in mind, I had never made an omelette before in my life... I'm more of a scambled eggs kind of girl due to ease. But thankfully I had seen this episode twice, so knew the basics. Over the next three hours, I made about 40 omelettes that all turned out beautifully!

I've seen a number of shows on cooking omlettes, but this is the only one that gave me any success. I'm still not perfect every time, but at least I know what I'm going for now!

I prepare this about once a week for breakfast. Quick & Easy. Nice almost "crunchy" outside with a "creamy" inside.




Finally!!!

Sweet and Simple

This is a simple recipe, but I made it with dill, thyme, and some cheddar cheese, it was delicous. Obviously, butter makes everything taste good, but it didn't even need salt and pepper thanks to the dill and thyme. AB's step-by-step directions work perfectly. I highly recommend




Easy!

Alton Brown is great, but seeing his omelet on tv was not appetizing to me. I prefer omelets that were not quite as runny as his, but his explanation of the techniques involved were great. After years of being a little scared of making omelets I finally decided to try it out for myself after seeing his show and making note of his instructions. I cooked mine a bit longer and used a whisk to make mine a bit fluffier, but I couldn't/wouldn't have done it without Alton. Thanks alot for the show. Keep up the great work!

Well, before I never really knew how to make an omelet. Always quite a mess really. Yet today I followed the recipe to make breakfast for my mum, and she absolutely loved it. This is by far the best way to make an omelet. :D




finally,I can make an omelette!

I am so happy now. I've always felt like a real klutz when it came to making omelettes,but after watching Alton Brown make one,now I am part of the omlette-able!I just finished a wonderful artichoke heart and parmesan omelette.




Great creamy texture

I found that, as AB suggests, stirring the egg around right after it hits the pan really gives it that creamy texture (if you don't cook it for too long that is). I guess it's the same reason why scrambled egg has that creamy texture as well.




Best ever omelets

I thought I knew how to do this, but after trying this recipe I found that these were the best ever. We only fix omelets this way now.

Excellent, though too runny for my taste

I cooked the omelet per AB's instructions, and found the inside less-cooked than I like in my omelets. Once I folded the omelet, I then let it rest in the pan, just over the burner, for a few minutes to set. It had a wonderfully creamy texture this way, and the addition of butter and chives was just enough to complement the eggs. I will definitely be making this again.

Seriously, this was the best and most helpful Good Eats ever. The omelet is light, moist, fluffy and it completely changed my outlook on eggs. Try it! I also recommend watching the Good Eats episode this came from to learn all the techniques.
