My omelet turned out perfect using this method. The only change I made was to use 3 eggs.

Saw this omelet reviewed yesterday and decided to try it for my brunch today. Easy and very tasty. I used a large pinch of shredded sharp cheddar before folding the omelet, otherwise followed the recipe. Glad I tried it and thanks for posting.

Have to be honest and say I have been making my omelettes this way for years, the only change I made was to use mozzarella cheese, left over from a pizza night (we don't get American cheese here in Australia) and served with 2 slices of toasted crusty bread for a very enjoyable breakfast, thank you Shabby Sign Shopper, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

My son loves this for breakfast. I followed the recipe as written except I didn't add the salt. Personally I only like one slice of cheese but he loves two!
