I'm partial to a classic chesse omelette and a Spanish tortilla. What's your go to omelette? And any hints, tips and tricks for the 'perfect' omelette.

Maldon and Peterborough

I actually had one last night.

You forget how good they are.

If you're having mushrooms in it - cook them first and then add the mixture.

I'm obsessed with cheese omelettes at the moment.

I like them in a pitta bread with marmite

Surely even the most culinary challenged can make an omelette!

Feta or goats cheese, spinach, mushrooms and chopped cherry tomatoes.

Can't really describe how to cook the perfect omelette. I guess it's like pancakes, it's about having the knack for it and knowing when the pan is the right temperature.

I’ll be making one at lunchtime. Mine are a cross between a frittata and a Spanish omelette. Usually with a flavoured theme. Today’s will be slightly spicy with chilli chicken, red onion, red pepper, tomato, mushrooms finished with grated cheese, mixed herbs and ground pepper on the top.

If I was cooking for a few I'm more likely to do a frittata or spanish tortilla - potatoes, red pepper, cheese, onion.

This sounds so good.

I think I'm going to be making an omelette for lunch as well now but with extra cheese and fresh chillies instead of the chicken.

My top tip is to only cook one side in the pan then put under the grill ro finish it off.

That's what tea towels or oven gloves are for

Chop up tomatoes and grate cheese. Add a few eggs, salt, pepper and a splash of milk. Fry slowly, turning half way through.

Lots and lots of butter is the key to omelettes! Use a heat proof rubber spatula to scramble lightly while it's still cooking (it will come back together and become "solid" again) and fold it over and remove from pan while the top is still slightly runny - it will continue cooking from the residual heat even when you plate it. Spread a little more butter over the top once folded. Once you've had an omelette this way you'll never want an overcooked, rubbery one again!
