    I can’t flip to save my life, but it still tastes amazing

    Made two omelettes with the technique described and while they didn’t come out perfectly shaped they were nonetheless delicious. My eggs also gained some color, which is to be avoided, so maybe there needs to be more mixing right after adding the eggs to the pan, before you start topping and flipping. Had fun practicing though! And gruyere is now my favorite cheese for an omelette. So good!

    I'm not sure I understood the technique - would like a video. When I jerked the pan, the whole omelet slid en masse rather than folding, and some of the cheese slid off the uncooked part of the omelet, so I ended up using a spatula. Also, the bottom of the omelet browned after the initial 30 sec, which doesn't appear to be desired, based on the photo. Still, the resulting omelet was moist and very tasty.
