I thought I'd share with you my way of making omlettes, which I've used for years, especially camping (when you need a good "set you up for the day" breakfast) but have only limited cooking capability.
I struggle with doing scrambled eggs and I recall once doing an omlette in the Lake District then spending what seemed like hours once I got home trying to clean off the egg which had welded itself to my cooking pan
There is an easy way - and it can be used for camping and at home - it goes like this :
Assemble your ingredients
2 or 3 eggs, a dash of milk, salt & pepper, sautee'd mushrooms, peppers, fried onions, spring onions, cheese, dash of cayenne pepper
Put all your ingredients in a zip-lock bag, seal it, and mush it up / mix everything by squeezing the bag alternately in your hands - get it well mixed
Put the sealed zip-lock bag and all its contents into a pan of boiling water
Leave to cook
When cooked, slide out your generally square omlette (depends on the size & shape of the bag - I use small ziplocks about 7 inches square)
Best of all - no washing up
Perfectly cooked omlette in your tummy, ziplock bag in the bin
Trial & error gives you either a runny omlette or a firm one - if at home, a minute or so under a pre-hated grill browns it off nicely
The only cooking skill here is "can you boil a pan of water"
