French or American?

@CountScrofula French!

@Stefanv You need a good non-stick omelette pan. Get 3-4 eggs and beat them until they're completely smooth with some pepper and finely minced chive. Pan on medium high heat with a tablespoon or so of butter. Let the egg sit for like, 20 seconds to firm a bit, and then stir rapidly (chopsticks are great) until you start to get soft curds which are a bit liquid still. The omelette should be kinda runny inside. Add salt at that point.

Lift the pan and slowly roll the thin edge up until you get a half-moon shape in the pan. Grab it in a reverse grip and roll it onto the plate before finishing with more butter and chives.

@CountScrofula I prefer a good cast iron pan. Well seasoned it is just as nonstick.

@MasterDvdC I love my cast iron although the sides are too steep to do a proper french omelette in. You're right they can be glossy smooth though.
