weee.....i like the book or magazine page...
shari: i think u cannot have a too hot pan and u must not "disturb" the egg while it sets in the pan. hope this tip helps.

Yup, this looks delicious. Another fave of mine is omelette with cheese and baby tomatoes.

I agree with ah teo, you just need to cook a beaten up egg over very low fire, sprinkle your ingredients, and wait for it to be more solid to fold it. It should only take about 5-10 min.

Hope that helps.

yes, shari, i agree with everyone above. i usually cook the eggs (only eggs or egg whites, no milk)over med-low heat only pushing up a little around the edges as it cooks. when it seems it is almost fully set and will flip over without falling apart, i flip it over. then i flip it and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. i flip it back over (or not) and add the fillings. i cover it with a glass lid and lower the heat and let it cook a little longer to let the cheese melt. it is mostly about not disturbing the eggs and letting them slowly cook:)

hope this is not too confusing and helps.

also, i used to have an omelet pan with 2 sides that you would close together. it worked pretty well too.

i like your pictures but this one even more since I love Tuscany and have the chance to go there several time a year.
Did you read the book written by Frances Mayes (not sure about the spelling). It's a great book, full of funny stories...
