Steps:
- For the tomato omelet: In a large saucepan, preferably nonstick, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When hot, add the minced scallions and saute for about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes and a quarter teaspoon of the salt. Saute the tomatoes for about 45 to 60 seconds, until they are warm and starting to render their juice but are still firm. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a clean saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the remaining quarter teaspoon of salt and the pepper in a bowl. When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture and, when the curds form in the bottom of the pan, stir until the whole mixture is set but a little wet inside.
- Using your fork, bring the near lip over toward the center of the omelet and arrange the tomato mixture down the center of the omelet. (If the tomato mixture is too wet, use a slotted spoon to remove the solids for use on the omelet.) Fold both lips of the omelet back over the tomatoes to enclose them as best you can. Heat the one teaspoon of butter in the exposed end of the skillet and cook the omelet for about 45 to 60 seconds to brown it nicely underneath. Invert onto a plate.
- When lukewarm, slide the omelet onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a tube, tightening it as you roll to give it a nice cylindrical shape and twisting the wrap at both ends. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- At serving time, cut the omelet into one-and-one-half-inch slices and place the slices cut-side-down in a small gratin dish. Sprinkle with a few drops of vinegar, about one tablespoon of oil and extra herbs, if desired. Serve.
- For the herb omelet: Beat the eggs with the salt, pepper and chopped herbs and proceed with the directions above (ignoring references to the tomato mixture) to make and finish the omelet.

OMELET
This recipe is for a basic French omelet with three eggs: enough for a hearty breakfast or brunch, or a light supper for one. The key to mastering this recipe is controlling the heat so the eggs do not brown, and whisking the eggs in the skillet so they set on the exterior but remain fluffy inside. A good nonstick or well-seasoned carbon-steel skillet is central to cooking the ideal omelet, which should be tender and slightly runny. Once you've got the technique down, you can play around with your seasonings, adding minced herbs, grated cheese, diced ham or sautéed vegetables. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Steps:
- Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork until egg whites are incorporated into yolks. Mix in herbs, if using.
- Place a 8- to 9-inch skillet (preferably nonstick or seasoned carbon steel) over high heat. Melt butter until bubbling subsides.
- Pour in egg mixture and reduce heat to medium. With the back of a fork or a heatproof rubber spatula, whisk eggs around skillet until the bottom begins to set. This takes only a few seconds. Add any fillings, if using.
- Tilt skillet and either bang or flip egg over itself. Use fork or spatula if necessary to complete folding in half or thirds. Angle the skillet and a serving plate together, and flip omelet onto plate.
