Well, tell us the basic of you recipe and technic !
I always add a LITTLE milk, never too much and cook it very slow so that it cooks uniformally.

Milk bad. It's cheating.

Separate your yolks and whites. Whip the whites hard, with a pinch of salt until they are fluffy, then add the yolks. I 'baste' the omlette too. Pour in a couple tablespoons water, and cover the pan for a minute or two. The eggs will be very large and fluffy.

Then add the fillings and proceed as normal.

I never use any milk, as it makes the omelette more dense. Use only egg.

To make a really good omelette, you need two pans. One fries all your fillings (mushrooms, bacon, peppers, green onions, whatever).

Fry the hard veggies first, then add things that fry fast like meat/tomatoes. Once everything is the way you like it, move it to the back of the stove and leave it on the lowest setting, just top bascially keep it warm.

In a bowl, whip several eggs with a whisk (to incorporate a lot of air).

In the other pan (preferably large, flat and non-stick), heat on medium heat. Add a tsp of olive oil. Dump in the egg and rotate pan so that egg mixture covers the entire pan bottom. Cook for about 90 seconds, then flip the entire thing (either with a spatula or by tossing the pan up, like with pancakes -- experts only).

Place cheese on the egg (should be goilden brown and cooked), then cover with toppings). Flip half over to cover fillings and cook for about 1 minute).

Slide out of pan onto plate. Serve hot.

You can never have too much cheese.

Cheddar and swiss. Cheap and it does the job. After that, more sophisticated cheeses are welcomed.

Pizza omelette:
Fry pepperoni in pan. Remove pepperoni but keep the grease.
Lightly fry onions, mushrooms and peppers. Remove veggies.
See bootlegga's post for the rest.

Don't forget the cheese.
If you want to go really wild, fry a bit of bacon with the pepperoni.

Or my favorite... blue cheese omelette.
