To get an omelet that is browned. Almost like scrambled eggs but with a filling. Use these instructions:
Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low. Add butter. Butter should melt quickly and brown just a little, but not smoke or burn. (If the pan is too hot, the butter will immediately sizzle and maybe burn, if it does that you may need to start over and clean the pan. ) Add the egg mixture all at once and it will begin to form curds and set quickly, move the egg around with the spatula, allowing it to set into a circle.
Add the vegetables and cheese once the egg is mostly set. fold each side over the fillings into thirds. Slide onto a plate. Top with green onions and serrano peppers.
To make an omelet that is soft and yellow cook it this way…
Heat a non-stick skill to a LOW temperature. Add the butter. The butter will melt slowly and will look clear not brown. Pour in the egg mixture all at once. Do not stir the egg. As the egg begins to set, lift the edge with the spatula and tip the pan slightly to let the liquid egg under to set. Repeat this to let all the egg set, the surface will appear slightly soft.
Add the vegetables and cheese once the egg is mostly set. fold each side over the fillings into thirds. Let the cheese and fillings sit in the pan in the omelet for a minute to allow the cheese to melt and the egg to finish setting. Slide onto a plate.
