- Fold the eggs towards the center using a spatula, working them around the pan's edges until they're mostly cooked.

3 Essential Omelet Secrets
- Cook on a lower flame: This allows curds to form and prevents the bottom from browning too quickly.
- Use a silicone spatula: This makes it easy to move the omelet around the pan and roll it up.
- Don't overstuff: Too much filling can cause the eggs to break. Start with just the eggs, then gradually add in your favorite ingredients.
