What is "omelet"?

An omelet is a simple egg dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. To make a basic omelet, beat eggs in a pan and shake the pan constantly until the eggs just begin to set. Then roll and fold the omelet to form an oval and turn it out onto a plate with the seam side down. To make a fluffy, buttery omelet, use a low-ish heat and the filling options are limitless. Mastering the omelet game requires buttery garlic mushrooms, bacon, ham, asparagus, or salmon. Finally, grated cheese, ham, fresh herbs, mushrooms and smoked salmon are popular fillings for omelets.
