Honestly, just buy an omelette maker.
That is literally criminal.

You guys got any tips?
Yeah. Non stick pan, heat up a generous tablespoon of butter on highest heat. Beat your eggs (2-3) with salt and pepper, optionally with a splash of milk, then wait until your butter has stopped fizzing and is about to turn brown, which indicates it's hot enough. Pour your eggs in. For a French style omelette, shake the pan and use a fork to swirl the eggs rapidly until they begin to set - for American style, drag a spatula across the eggs as they're cooking to create thin sheets of curds. Cook it quickly and on high heat. Clean around and underneath the edges of the eggs to make sure your omelette comes loose. Remember the latent heat of the pan will continue to cook your eggs, so plate it when its slightly underdone and runny, by tipping over your pan and letting it naturally roll on the plate.
 
Is an omelet what we call a "tortilla"?

What Vect said, all I'll add is make sure you aren't adding too little oil/butter. You're frying eggs, so add enough to actually fry the damn eggs. Also I prefer to use a little sour cream instead of milk, makes the eggs a little tangy at the end.
 
Also unrelated but I thought you guys spell it "omelet", I see the real spelling in this thread. What gives?
French.
An omelette is just scrambled eggs you don't break up into small chunks. How in the world do you fuck that up.
Usually people who use zero oil or butter or don't understand how to loose the edges from the pan gently in order to flip.
Or using too high heat, similar to getting eggs that are simultaneously raw and burnt.
 
Once it starts to cook, just fold it over three or four times and don't worry about cooking it, the heat will eventually cook it all the way through. Just fold it up like a "French omlette."
 
Omelette aux attardés (a kiwifarms exclusive recipe)
Serves one hungry retard.

Ingredients:
  • 3 eggs of your choosing
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 cup of grated pizza mozzarella
  • Spoonful of butter
Beat the eggs in a bowl, add in salt and cheese.

Melt butter in a pan set on medium heat.

Add ingredient to pan, wait for eggs to become consistent enough to flip with a spatula. Rince and repeat until golden crust forms.

Serve on plate with optional dash of tabasco.

bonus alternative is a parmlet, where the pan is doused with shredded hard cheese and cooked until nutty-smelling and crisp prior to adding egg. If the hard cheese comes from a bag, I hate you.
 
For a French omelette, do exactly what this man does:


If you want to fill it, do so with cooked toppings and add them right before you roll it up. Don't overfill it, a smallish amount of filling is sufficient.

For an American omelet, follow these instructions:


Chef John made a Denver omelet, but you can follow the same method and include whatever you like. Mushroom and Swiss is a great combination.
