I use a large non-stick pan with low sides. 4 to 6 eggs. Lightly oil
pan, heating oil. Pour in meats and veggies if I want them precooked,
then add eggs. Cook till set then give a sharp twist loosening the
eggs. Then flip. while this side cooks add cheese to half the
omelet. Slide out on to plat and fold over as the cheesed side rests
on plate. Serves 2 to 4 people. I never use a spatula.

If I do not want the fillin' pre-cooked then I add them at the same
time I add the cheese.
