Cooks' Note

Omelets are among the most versatile of dishes. They can be made in minutes with any of dozens of filling variations—limited only by whim and what’s on the pantry shelf. A few trial runs and you should have omelet-making techniques sufficiently mastered to make omelets a staple in your low-glycemic kitchen. And remember—if you mess up an omelet, the worst you will have is an equally tasty heap of scrambled eggs!
