How do you like folding your omlettes?
 
I fold mine the easier way. Eggs in the pan, get the stuff on top on
to the sides and under. Place topping all over. Put lid on for a
brief moment(although you can put it under the broiler for a sec)to
melt cheese if any. Then take plate and slide omlette on it, folding
it over using the pan. Some cooks like to fold it in the pan. One
third over, then the other third, then slide it onto the plate. Also
some restaurants(greasy spoons[it's OK to mention grease in this
context]) do their omlettes on the grill, folding it a few times. One
third over, then the other third, then the top half is folded, then
the bottom half etc. Then it's put upside down on the plate. So it
looks Kosher.
Which do you prefer?

I prefer it folded in half over the filling. Just have not quite
mastered it yet without tearing it.

I don't like omelettes, but I love scrambled eggs and quiches. Even if an
omelette has the same ingredients as a quiche, the quiche just has a
different taste to it.

A nonstick pan seems crucial for turning an omelette, as well as a very
wide, very soft plastic spatula.

I agree. I love eggs done just about any way.... except an omelet.

I disagree. They're different, but they're all good. A folded omelet
is just a little tricky to have come out right. But unless
you're a perfectionist wanting it to look perfect always, it should
taste equally as good as any other egg dish with the same ingredients.

However. My absolute favorite egg dishes, I think, are the ones that
include some form of fried bread, such as matzo brie or migas.
I made a killer migas the other day...

You are welcome to disagree. It is not a matter of being a
perfectionist. I don't care if they are flat, folded in half or rolled.
I have had lots of omelets over the years and, with the exception of a
toasted western sandwich, I am not a fan of omelets. My wife loves them.
I don't.

Don't attempt to fold it. Line the filling up in a straight line from the
handle of the pan. If you are right handed, the filling should be on the
left hand of the pan. Jiggle the pan to make sure the egg is loose in the
pan. Hold the pan a couple of inches over the plate, jiggle a bit and let
the egg/filling side slide onto the plate. As the non-filled side begins to
leave the pan, drape (cover) that part over the filled side already on the
plate. You should end up with a nicely half circle shaped omelet on your
plate.

Okay, but are you saying that an omelet tastes different
from scrambled eggs with the same ingredients? If so,
in what way?

About the only thing I can think of is that "gooey" ingreditents,
like pesto, melted cheese, or tomato sauce can sit inside the middle
of a omelet while cooking for longer; with scrambled eggs you need to
add them pretty much at the end. Still I don't think the total
effect is all that different.

(I'll readily acknowledge the possibility of some classical difference
in outcome that's beyond my ability as a cook to achieve...)

I agree with that. Having it mixed vs. folding it makes two entirely
different meals.

Not too soft. I have two of them.

They are easy to overcook. Keeping them slightly soft makes all the
difference in the world imho.

I have to agree with him. The ingredients mixed in with the eggs have a
totally different effect than the eggs folding over a filling. :-)

Sure. My most recent version, to serve 2, was as follows:

2 eggs
3 ounces medium tofu, diced
Olive oil
1/2 large bell pepper, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 t Ground NM chile
5 soft corn tortillas, cut into strips
3 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small slices
2 T salsa
Sea salt, pepper

Open the eggs, add the tofu and 1 t of NM chile, and stir
once or twice. Let come up to room temperature.

Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the bell pepper, onion,
and the rest of the NM chile and sautee until tender.
Add a little more olive oil and the tortillas and
continue to sautee, adding salt and pepper. Add a little
more olive oil and the egg mixture, cook undisturbed until
half-set, flip once, place the cheese and salsa on top,
and cover until done. (The total cooking time is perhaps
6 minutes.)

What is crucial is skill in handling the pan, and if you're using a cast
iron pan a certain amount of upper body strength.

Eggs contain a variety of different protiens that unfold at different
temperatures. An omelet properly done has most them unfolded in the
outer layer and only the lowest temperature ones unfolded in the inner,
this gives a different result from scrambled eggs in which they're all
at the same temperature and thus uniform in taste and texture.

Yep me too and it always breaks at the fold, I've learned to live with it. But then I
only cook for myself.

Well I dont like to fold it, all ingredients on top but not folded or turned over. I like to have mine just the way it is.

Om that is the way I do mine. When it is nearly cooked, put on the
topping, take the pan over to the plate and allow it to slide off. Just
before it is all off, flip the pan up gently and it will lift the back half
over the filling. et viola!

Agreed. An omelet even slightly overcooked is horrible. The same with
scrambled eggs. I don't make them very often because it takes me so long to
make, but then I am very fussy about it:)) I cook it over a low heat and
keep taking it off to be sure it doesn't overcook

Which do you prefer?

I like omelet and truly any way you serve. But you can search if you are really looking to know about how to fold omelet. Try on Google you can find both text description step by step, pictorial representation and also can watch videos. You can have plain omelet or filling omelet, depending on choice and accordingly you can fold.

<lol> Depends on the size of the cast iron! A small 8" one is not so
heavy and works well for Omelets. :-)

Mom's best Omelet pan (that vanished with one of dad's girlfriends) was
a well seasoned copper clad steel pan. <sigh> I need to look for
another one.

A multitude of evil can also be covered with a little melted cheese when
serving others. Once you have it plated, put some thinly sliced or
shredded cheese on top and nuke it for about 30 to 45 seconds. Covers
the tear. <g>

Yes. An omelet does taste different from scrambled eggs, though maybe I
am thinking about scrambled eggs the way I make them as opposed to dried
out scrambled eggs some people make. It's more of a texture thing, and I
think that texture has a major effect on the taste of eggs.

Eggs are very versatile critters and even slight differences in cooking
result in a much different taste.

FWIW, I have no problem with cheese in omelets. I do not like cheese in
scrambled eggs.

Well, it's not cheating, but it is unnecessary:)

Tis is a case of changing tastes for me. I never used to like cheese
and eggs combines, but I do like omelets with some cheese in them... and
when we make breakfast burritos, I like some cheese in them.

I really jumped the shark a few years ago when we had breakfast in New
Orleans and I had an omelet with Swiss cheese. It was delicious and
became my new favorite.

A restaurant down the street served omelettes with crumbled goat's milk
cheese and a dab of pesto in the middle, folded. Goat's milk cheese will
not turn oily as most hard cheeses do. I do this every now and then at
home but I prefer it without pesto as I'm not fond of the odour of garlic
in morning.

Mushrooms sauted in butter and folded in is my favourite:)

The latter works for me. I cannot see how you can slide it onto the
plate while folding into thirds without dumping the contents all over.
If you cannot fold in thirds in the pan, you made it wrong (too thick.)

Thirds? I only fold mine in half and it is very easy straight from the pan

But it is so quick! I nuke each half for 30 to 45 seconds. I'll have
to take a pic of a finished one and the toy when I get in the mood to
start doing photography again. Once I find a new job...

This morning, I made dad an omelet filled with minced wild onion and
chopped white and shitake mushroom, and a little chopped chicken breast
with a liberal treatment of jack cheese. I topped it with a little dill
weed, msg and salt free lemon pepper.

He loved it. :-)

How did that wild onion work out? I remember handling some when visiting in
TN and was surprised at the complex scent. It seemed very strong with
overtones of garlic?? ramp?? I'd be brave enough to try an omelet you
prepared, but not brave enough to try to use the wild onions myself.
