Move the pan and utensil at the same time until the egg mixture has coagulated slightly, about 15-20 seconds. Smooth out the eggs into an even layer by spreading with a wooden spoon or shaking the pan. Add desired garnish (if using the mushroom, leek and Brie filling, add 1ยจ tablespoon of the prepared filling down the center of the omelet and top with about 2 teaspoons of Brie.) Let the egg mixture nearly finish cooking without stirring, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Tilt the pan and slide the spatula around the lip of the pan under the omelet to be sure it is not sticking. Slide the omelet to the front of the pan and use a fork or a wooden spoon to fold it inside to the center. Turn the pan upside down, rolling the omelet onto the plate. The finished omelet should be oval-shaped.Serves four.Nutrition analysis per omelet: 270 calories, 5 g fat, 3 g carbohydrates, 0 fiber, 19 g protein, 640 mg cholesterol, 780 mg sodium.?Breakfasts and Brunches? by the Culinary Institute of America(2005 Lebhar-Freidman, $35)
