For those of us who have been struggling and failing with French omelettes, Jamie Oliver has a much simpler method. Keep it thin and use a large nonstick pan.
Another video of this on his Instagram with more instructions from the kitchn. Not sure why he would cut it short for youtube.

(4,741 posts)Yeah, having a good nonstick pan with the right amount of butter over the correct heat is a factor, but at the end of the day you just need to get a flat of eggs, some hungry friends, and start cranking them out.
After a few dozen you learn the knack; after a few hundred, they become mindlessly easy; after a few thousand you can do one in 28 seconds.
