I like 6-8 inch skillets BUT if you really want an air filled omelets these things get the job done. My college roomie had one and his omelettes were 3-4 inches high. With no fillings.

Inspired by this thread I made a cherry tomato, cheddar cheese and chives version last night, plus one with a ham, mushroom and a sprinkling of chopped fried onion...
The cherry tomato, cheddar cheese and chive one sounds delicious. I would have never thought of cherry tomatoes.

I'm close to top shelf cooking breakfast for me and the boys, including omelets, however,
A few weeks back on a fishing trip we stopped for breakfast and I ordered an omelet, Wow, fluffy and lots of air in the egg...
How do I achieve this?
I normally beat/stir 3 eggs in a small bowl with a fork,,,
Talk to me............... First you get a breakfast wench that can cook.....

I love breakfast for dinner.
There are endless possibilities. I probably do it two or three times a week.

Wench eats like a bird, and for breakfast she's a fruit/yogurt person, she also won't eat red-meat, She is one confused individual.
But wowza, when it comes to baking, just stay out of the way.

I can't think of a single thing baking powder would do for an omelett I wonder if there is anything acid enough in eggs to cause the baking powder to give off CO2? Personally, I add jut a splash of water to the two egg omelett I prefer to make.. Inspired by this thread I made a cherry tomato, cheddar cheese and chives version last night, plus one with a ham, mushroom and a sprinkling of chopped fried onion... baking powder kinda sorta makes it's own fizz, with a base ingredient and an acid ingredient. Baking soda does not. There is no acid component of eggs. I know some folks swear by adding baking powder to an omelet, but I say balderdash.

The cherry tomato, cheddar cheese and chive one sounds delicious. I would have never thought of cherry tomatoes.
I slice the cherry tomato, and lightly fry them, then set aside somewhere and keep them warm as I cook the omelett.. Once omelett is sort of half cooked, I add the grated cheese and once melted, add the tomato and a sprinkle of chives. A little sea salt and a generous grind of black pepper and I am ready to fold and serve.. You can also add a splash of Worstershire Sauce before folding, but a little goes a long way..

Thank you for that The tanginess of the tomatoes, the sharpness of the cheddar, and the bite of the chives sounds like just the perfect combination. A little side salad and I think I will have a nice little dinner.

Pete is 100% correct!! That's also the way those guys with the big white hats do it at fine hotel brunches!!! When I do omelettes at tailgates I have 3 gas burners and about 10 pans cranking!! That's good fun right there!!

My college roomie had one and his omelettes were 3-4 inches high. You were in college, is it possible you and your roomie were just high? seems plausible on this end....

The last couple weeks I've definitely improved the Omelets,
A little water mixed in the egg, a little oil and butter in the pan, a little higher heat,
Some what like Jeff Smith did on that link provided here, but I keep the cast iron pan hot, that was used to fry the bacon, then after I fold the omelet in the omelet pan, the hot cast iron pan is set on top of the omelet pan thereby creating a "dutch oven" which quickly bakes the omelet and melts the cheese topping.
By far, my favorite meal.
