Omelet

I hate to admit it, but even though I think I am pretty good at cooking, I suck at making omelets. I had this great idea to make myself an omelet yesterday since I had about six eggs left which I could only use until the 25th. I am not a big egg eater so I thought I might as well give it a try. Well, the project utterly failed.
I found a recipe in one of the few books I own myself, I guess you could roughly translate it as farmer's omelet. You were supposed to cook some chopped potatoes, then bake out some bacon, leave the grease in the pan, then bake the potatoes in it, throw the bacon back in with some peas and herbs and pepper and bake it just a little further before adding the egg. (Which you had to, by the way, mix with some milk beforehand) Piece of cake, right? Well, not for me. Perhaps I am a little too impatient. The recipe mentioned baking the egg at low temperature so I did. But the egg never got firm enough and I was hungry so I just grated the whole shebang out of the pan and ate it like that. I have a picture somewhere of the 'omelet' still in the pan (I took it when I still believed I could actually make this omelet thing work) so I might post it later so you can see that it actually did look like it would work (and taste nicely!) . Sigh*.
Maybe a cooking course would do the trick?
