Hi, Pops was a short order cook in an earlier life. He taught me the secret of making the perfect omlet when I was only knee high to a grasshopper.
It's easy. Just beat the hell out of a bunch of eggs. Add a bit of water, salt and pepper. In a very well seasoned cast iron skillet cook up a bunch of veggies and meats. These days I use a non stick skillet with a handle. Now pour your eggs over the stuff in the pan, kind of tilt the pan to move the eggs around. Let it sit for about 12 minutes on a medium heat. Turn the oven onto broil. After 12 minutes sprinkle the top with cheese, place in the oven for another 5 to 7 minutes and you got the best darn omlet ever.

Just do a google search! By the time you bring a pot of water to a boil and then boil the bag for 12 minutes, you can just as easily make an oven-baked omlet, with none of the risk! Enjoy! Penny Ingredients 8 eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pinch ground pepper (optional) 1 cup shredded cheese or cheese slice Directions 1 Preheat the oven to 450°F. 2 Mix eggs, milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth. 3 Pour half of the egg mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan. 4 Place cheese on top of egg (you can also add any other filling that you want). Pour the rest of the egg mixture over the filling. 5 Bake for 15-20 minutes or until eggs begin to turn golden brown around the edges. Use a knife to loosen the omelet from the pan before slicing. 6 If you want, sprinkle some additional cheese on top. 7 Slice and serve. 8 To save a step, combine most of the cheese with the egg mixture before pouring rather than putting them in the pan separately.
