- Let it cook for 1 ½ minute then swirl the pan around to make sure the center gets cooked fully.
- Let it cook for another 30 seconds then use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges all the way around and the center should start to loosen.
- Once the omelette no longer has a custard-like center, add whatever filling you prefer. (I used diced ham and mozzarella cheese.) Then fold one side over the center and fold the other side over the center.
