Gordon Ramsay actually does a lot of the things the pro chef says not to do. He cracks eggs one handed in the mixing bowl, doesn’t add salt until the last second, throws ingredients including cheddar inside… yet still looks awesome. Just goes to show there’s no hard rules in cooking only the end result matters.

Emily did a good fold for someone saying that her omelettes always fail and become loaded scrambled eggs. The tearing is frustrating, but that fold came out good. I just really am not enthusiastic about the peppers that are definitely still raw.

If you want the low moisture cheese to melt, you can add whole milk/heavy cream to your egg mixture. This would raise the temp needed to cook the eggs and you should be able to get the cheese to melt

When I cook omelets, I usually saute the vegetables then add the mixed eggs into the same skillet. I don't cook it brown or stir it around but rather flip it then add the cheese, fold it, remove from heat, cover with a lid for a minute before plating. The omelet is cooked without being brown and the cheese is melted. Whether or I fold it in half or make it into a tube depends on the amount of filling. A lot of filling, fold. Not so much filling then fold one third and compete the fold as I plate it making the tube style. I do not like browned eggs. As far as using a piping bag, in my opinion that adds unnecessary complexity to the process.

So inspiring! I’ve been cooking for many years, yet always struggled with omelets, particularly when it came time to flipping or turning the omelet, they would always tear apart. Whisking in a bowl properly and using the salt made all the difference. Today I made a French omelette and an American omelette and they both turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for this amazing video!

You should actually start Omlettes the way you make scrambled eggs, keep pulling the mixture around (make 4 lines into a cross pulling from the outside to the inside). But when it's like 2/3 done that's when you just leave it alone, add your mix and then fold it over itself. For some reason many people think you pour an omlette in and leave it alone until it's time to flip, and then it's burnt or falls apart. Just watch this for 60 seconds: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWVkx9aJYdOYkrg.html

tbh I want to try most of the level three ones, the only reason why so many people say they're weird is just, because they are not used to it, it's the same with high kitchen and molecular kitchen (I don't know the english terms), many people just judge them without ever trying them. And that they make small portion is because they are used to it, in higher class Restaurant you normally serve many different small meals instead of one big meal, the price is not too high in most cases if you look at what it costs to make your dish. But yes, if you don't care THAT much about taste it wont be worth it going there and spending that much money.

I have done it in the Level 3 style lately, but I use 4 eggs, cheddar cheese, and ham instead...the technique is the same, and it's fantastic. They're super fluffy, moist, and delicious. The 1st time, I got nervous since they look extremely similar to scrambled eggs right before you flatten them out, but that's normal. It'll eventually stick together & form a nice omelette. I'll never go back to the Level 1 way.

Such a good video. I make a pretty good omelet, but it can get a little liquidy with some fillings. Now I know why. But I really like the Level 3 omelet. My dad used to slow/soft cook his scrambled eggs and they were wonderful. Now I know why. All that said, I use a step which no one here did. I cook the omelet on low heat and, after adding my usual filling of tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and diced green pepper or onion, I place a lid on the pan to evenly cook the eggs and melt/warm in the filling (checking often so as not to overcook).

I have always loved the French Omelet. Whisking vigorously is essential. I like mine over a lower heat.
I grew up making these "diner style" I guess - but the step they all seemed to skip (that I think is a MUST) is to cut the heat, add a lid with a decent seal, and let the omelet puff up and become fluffy - so you're going to want to incorporate a decent amount of air when incorporating the eggs. You might even want to flip it about half-way through the rest to ensure even browning on both sides. While this happens, I usually make some toast or something for a nice omelet sandwich and it gives any cheese some time to melt so it's gooey when cut in half. I don't seem to see this approach used in restaurants so it's an added benefit of DIY omelets.

I learned to cook after going to college, by watching KZread, haha! Starting in 2017, I was roommates with a guy who was a former country club chef, and he taught me "level 3" style of cooking an omelet. I still haven't mastered that French fold, but his advice really upped my cooking skills. I dare say, I now cook an omelet that's better than anything my sisters made!

Outstanding video that covers many aspects of making an omelet, but by no means all. It's not hard to find videos that tell you to absolutely not pre-mix salt into your eggs, or not to stir the eggs while they are cooking, etc. Every video I have watched today shows people using non-stick skillets. Properly seasoned cast iron is my personal preference. because nothing will stick to it, and it distributes heat very evenly. My own style is drifting toward traditional French. Thanks for the video, Epicurious.
i also like to make the kind of omlette where the egg is added to cooked ingredients that are already in the pan, like chorizo or sauteed onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and tomato.

Wow! Great video! But my favourite omelet is cloud omelet from Yakutake Japan. The secret is to beat the yolk and egg white separately, start frying with the yolk, and then add the well beaten egg white. Fry under the lid. The Filling is only parsley with tomato paste. Very tasty!
I gave up trying to fold my omelets a long time ago. I now just cut them and layer one half more or less on top of the other. My cooking is a cross between Emily's and Lorenzo's styles. Yes to bacon and cheddar cheese (the sharper the better), but I'm more likely to garnish with salsa and a dab of sour cream than hot sauce. I loved how all three omelets looked delicious.

I'd eat any of the omelettes made in this video. They all appeal to me. :) When it comes to omelettes, I'm somewhere between a level one and a level two, although I'm going to try to reach level three at some point in the future. :D
I was a hack at cooking all my life. When covid hit and you couldn't safely go out, I started learning to cook. About the only time I went out was to buy groceries. Anyhoodle, I discovered Americas Test Kitchen and decided to learn from them. All my life I cracked eggs on the edge of the bowl but ATK taught me that cracking them on a flat surface (like Barb the pro did) gave less of a chance of getting shells in the eggs. Then opening the egg over a separate bowl as Lorenzo did assured you wouldn't get shells in the eggs. That's what I started doing and in the last two years, I've had to pick shells out of the small bowl about three times. When I tried to explain this to a friend's daughter who was making eggs, she said "I've been cracking them on the edge of the bowl my whole life and that's how I do it." It's sad when people shut their mind to new ideas.

He doesn't add salt ?
I mix shredded kale and/or dandelion greens, grated cheese, fresh basil and parsley, and two beaten eggs (with salt & pepper), dumped into pan lubricated with bacon grease. On LOW heat (because I'm not in a hurry), I cover the pan and let it cook. When condensation runs off of the lid and sizzles into the pan, the steam helps lift the eggs from the pan while signalling that it's done. (If it browns, I've waited too long.)
This is an excellent format. Add nutritional levels and better explanations of basics but maybe my 3 ways are just unique or different like culinary school, momz way, an restaurant levels that I'm used to from hotels, county clbs, farm to fork, white table cloth establishments .. Also pan and heating element like gas, ele, food truck, camping. ... Anyway,,,good job, keep up the good work...

I like Lorenzo's best. That's pretty much how I make mine, only the bacon would be inside. I worked at Village Inn while in college. We put the eggs and filling in, except the cheese, then once the eggs were just starting to set, shook the pan vigorously from side to side and it would all roll up in the middle of the pan, then cheese on top.
I'm just immediately vibing so hard with this level 3 chef. She seems like such a lovely person.

same, the new lady's voice drove me nuts with her inflection always sounding like a question
At the end of the day this is personal preference as anyone will have grown up with a family omlette recipe. If anyone is interested here's mine : - 2,3 eggs - salt and pepper - salted butter or oil - dill - smidge of paprika powder - small pieces of ham or other prefered meat - peppers - cheddar or similar cheese Break the eggs and mix them a little bit , add dill , paprika, salt and pepper then mix everything together. The paprika will give it an orangey colour. Warm up the butter or the oil , as it's heating , put the mixture in and spread it around uniformly. Add the bits of meat and cover with a lid. The lid will keep the heat from escaping and it will cook the top. As I like my omlettes well done on both sides i usually flip it (with a plate). I drizzle a little bit of cheddar or parmegiano and transfer to plate. Good Observations : Spring onion or chives are good , but these things are not stuff that you'll always have on hand for an omlette. Bad Observations : Putting mushrooms in an omlette is like putting pineapple on pizza , not for me.
Now I definitely want one of Lorenzo´s omelet !!! ⭐🤘⭐

Cheers, A French omelet is rolled with a barely set inside and a nice pale yellow color on the outside; an omelet with browning outside is just another delicious omelet meal 😊 Respect
Once eggs are in buttered pan - cover it - heat low - add innards after it was covered for a bit - then cover again. Then fold it after a few mins covered. You're welcome. I do like the level III idea of mixing the eggs around in the pan - but my covering technique also aids in this in a huge way - and - it fluffs the eggs up more than any other way.
