that you find in tasty hotel breakfast buffets/restaurants. I can't even come close. I even looked at some videos online and taken their advice (mix eggs with a bit of water, not milk + include melted butter). I eat quite a few eggs when I'm on Atkins, so any advice would be big.

My mom does water + some white powder (I am having a brain fart right now)

ETA: cream of tartar

I use milk, and just a little melted butter in the skillet, then take a rubber spatula and just fold it over itself as the eggs firm up while breaking it up into pieces

You have to use room temperature eggs. This is the French Food at Home lady's recipe for omelettes.

quote:

Put the yolks in a metal bowl and set over a pot of gently simmering water (make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.) Season the eggs with salt, and pepper, and whisk until thick and frothy. Remove the bowl from the heat. In a separate bowl, beat the whites to stiff peaks, and fold into the yolk mixture.

Heat the remaining butter in a large frying pan for the omelette. Cook's Note: a no-stick pan will simplify your life.

Pour the egg into the pan and cook until the bottom is set, and golden, and the top is still fluffy and soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.


Then she adds the toppings and folds. I assume this is very similar for fluffy scrambled eggs as well.

they do it on a large flat grill set to 325 degrees and use cartons of scrambled egg mix.

I just use milk and whisk the mess out of my eggs.

Not sure if this is the result you're looking for, but here's Julia Child's omelette.

I think she failed a sobriety test at the 3:10 mark.

I put a tbsp of butter on the skillet and let it melt until it pops.

I mix eggs and milk in a bowl, and let it cook on the skillet until it's easy to flip them over. I chop up the eggs, add salt and pepper, and flip them around for a while.

They're absolutely delicious and fluffy. I always impress people in the morning with my eggs.

I do eggs and milk whisked together with salt and pepper.

Cook on LOW in tbs butter.. folding.. but not until they're super dry.. add in butter, parsley, green onions.. maybe some other herbs if you're into that.
