Tampopo.

It's all downhill from there.

I actually first learned about this method of making omelettes from Julia Child (from her "Mastering the Art..." cookbook), but have always had difficulty with it.

The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I've watched all the episodes of her original TV show, but don't remember this one (it's been awhile); I found it amusing that she used chopsticks for part of it.

I typically make my omelets more "American" style, which means using low heat and ending with bigger curds. Here's a video that gives the two different versions:

Taking them off the heat before they look done (=they get rubbery) is definitely the one thing most people seem to mess up with eggs in general.

The speed and heat is the thing that I've just never been too comfortable with. I've worked in kitchens, but have never done breakfast, and I usually poach my eggs or do them over easy, so I've never really put the time in to get this method down.

Where this - >>4261242 - anon went wrong was probably with the speed, and taking the eggs out before they really look done (carry over cooking), as opposed to too high of heat (thanks for the pics, btw).
