Tips

Beat the eggs well. Stir the eggs before putting them in the pan. To achieve a smooth texture and even color, mix the eggs until they are evenly golden with no egg whites left. In this way, the egg white and yolk are completely combined.
You can use easy- melting cheddar cheese, mozzarella or gruyere instead of kashari cheese.
Cook the omelet over medium-low heat. Cooking on high heat can cause the eggs to burn quickly and become dry.
Do not mix the omelet in the pan. Lift the edge of the omelet with the help of a spatula, turn if bubbles begin to form, and cook the other side.
Use freshly grated cheese. Thanks to this, the cheese melts faster and better.
Do not overfill the omelet. Otherwise, the omelet may become difficult to fold or the omelet may tear.
Spread butter on the omelet.
You can add soft vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, and green onions.
You can add bacon, sausage, or salami.
