Tips for Making the Perfect Omelette

- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will produce a more fluffy omelette. - Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs will make the omelette tough. - Cook the omelette over medium heat. Cooking the omelette over too high of heat will burn the outside and leave the inside uncooked. - Be patient. Don't try to rush the cooking process. Cooking the omelette slowly and evenly will produce the best results. - Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no rules when it comes to omelettes. Get creative and try different fillings and combinations.
