For adults, cooking for picky eaters can be tricky. This is because picky eaters often prefer bland comfort foods to sweets and salty foods. Most picky eaters dislike trying new or unfamiliar foods.

How to make a perfect Omelette
Omelets are my favorite breakfast dish. How do you make them perfect? Many different recipes and methods have failed to work for me. So I wanted to share some tips and tricks so that you can make delicious, fluffy omelets every morn.
Before we start making omelets, let's remember that eggs are temperamental. You must get them fresh, organically, and keep them cold until you cook. If you don't keep them cold enough, the whites won't form properly, and the yolks will break down too much and become runny. This can make your omelets look bizarrely colored. If you want to make omelets right away, it's best not to use eggs that are too cold.
Another tip is to separate your egg before adding it into the pan. Because this could cause your omelet to become curdled, you don't want any yolk to be mixed with any white.
The egg can burn if it is placed directly on the stovetop. Instead, heat the egg for 10 seconds in the microwave before placing it in the pan. The microwave heat will cook the egg just right without making it too hot.
Next, let’s talk about mixing the egg. You want to mix the eggs thoroughly before you add them. To do this, take the bowl from the mixer and flip it upside-down. Now shake the bowl vigorously. This will whip the air around the bowl and mix the egg well.
Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. First, pour half of the milk into the beaten eggs and then fold the eggs gently into the remaining milk. Do not worry if you see streaks of egg; they will disappear when the omelet is flipped.
After folding the eggs fold the pan onto medium heat. When the oil starts to hot, wait for the pan to cook. Add 1/4 cup butter to the oil and swirl it around to coat all sides of the pan. Next, carefully open the lid and sprinkle salt into your pan. Salt will prevent the omelet sticking to the pan.
Cover the pan once you have formed the omelet. Wait for the top to set. Flip the omelet with a spatula, or flip it upside down. Cook the other side for about a minute. Remove the omelet from the pan and serve immediately.
This recipe is best when used with whole milk. But, you can use skimmed milk as well.
