• Quickly pour in the egg mixture and lift the edges of the omelet with a fork the moment the omelet begins to set, tilting the pan to allow the liquid egg to run under the omelet.
• Work all the way around the pan, tilting in all directions to ensure an even thickness.
• When only a little liquid egg remains on the surface of the omelet, distribute the cheese in a line down the center of the omelet.

• Using the fork, flip one-half of the omelet over the filling and slide the omelet out of the pan onto a warm plate.
