You are right, most restaurants or hotels at there " Omelet Station" they use a aprentice commis, or even a 10 minute trained stewart ( dishwasher) and making there omelets like pancakes by flipping them over and over. To many Chef's are " To Proud " to step behind the omelet pans and start cooking eggs. In fact it was one of my favorits to do, not only for the fun but also it was a great customer service between myself  " THE Chef" and the customer.Thank you for posting the recipe, looks great, just depened the chef, they use olive oil or butter, not both, also use a pich of salt and pepper to taste in the egg mixture and use a 8 or 10 inch non-stick Tefal pan,  I recommend to use a plastic spatula instead a fork to move the eggs around, this protct the coating of your non-stick Tefal pan.

Thanks for the tips

Just for reference for those following the thread, the recipe posted was here.
 
(On BigOven.com, the preferred spelling is "omelette".  Thanks!)

I'm always a little confused with my spelling, mostly when using a spell checker like this one posted here,  maybe its due to my Belgian - French accent, anyway sinds we are in a discussion forum here, I found some interesting information between omelet and omelette here are a few: omelet (plural omelets) Alternative spelling of omelette Retrieved from"http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/omelet" and the second one at http://www.myomelet.com . I now Americans are very picky about there spelling like we are very picky about our food
Thank you Steve, for making corections to our postings, I.m glad to learn more and improving my English

ChefRene, I'd happily trade my boring American accent for a Beligian or French one any day.  I took Latin for 5 years, and that's not an incredibly useful language, or very sophisticated accent.
