I LOVE being a blogger with the OXO Blogger Outreach Program. I genuinely love OXO tools, making it both easy and rewarding to get to check out their newest and coolest kitchen gadgets and then share them with you. I am running a tad behind right now, because OXO has moved on from eggs and is just starting to promote their awesome fruit tools, but it took me a while to find the time to make an omelette. That sounded crazy I realize, but there it is.
The fabulous egg tool package included the rotary egg beater that I wrote about here (they accidentally sent me a second, which is why I am going to send it to one lucky reader), a 3-In-1 Egg Separator (seen below) and this fantastic Flip and Fold Omelette Turner (seen above). Even though I am giving away the egg beater, I am going to let you read about it through the link, where I have already written about it extensively.
The OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Egg Separator
is wonderful for children. At the end of the day, I still prefer my hands, since my fingers can pinch the egg whites off, but Alex had a blast helping me make my Sunday Brunch Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes, which require whipped egg whites. There is a ridge on the separator which makes a perfect break in the egg when you gently but firmly whack the egg against it. I also really like that the egg separator attaches to the bowl.
The omelette tool is the best of the bunch (the egg beater is fantastic too, but still doesn’t beat as well as an electric handheld). It is essentially 2 tools in one, with an outer flexible part that conforms to the shape of your pan to get under the omelette, and an inner rigid part that forces that omelette to flip. It is beautifully simple and works really well. I think the proof is in the pictures.
I sadly do not have a recipe for you. I made the filling for Thai spring rolls, using Mung Bean Thread Noodles
(or glass noodles), shredded carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini with soy sauce and Thai basil. I served the omelettes with Thai Garlic Sweet Hot Dipping Sauce and Sriracha. Think of it as a low carb spring roll. The photo below shows the fillings better.
I want to tinker with the recipe more before sharing it, because I think the idea has serious potential, especially for diabetics missing their occasional spring roll. It lacks the crisp of the shell, but it is otherwise pretty spot on. And although the filling may not have been quite perfect, thanks to the OXO Good Grips Flip and Fold Omelet Turner
the omelette itself definitely was.
Full disclosure: I was sent the 3 tools by OXO to use and review, and, of course, keep. My opinions are completely my own. Affiliate links have been used in this post.

I got that set of tools also and (AH!) have yet to review them. I did review the egg beater a while ago though. The other day I used the omelet flipper to flip waffles out of the waffle iron…so it is actually useful for all your flipping needs!!
I’m so intrigued by this thai omelet and the noodles inside it!
My favorite egg add in is probably goat cheese or spinach
All veggies. The more the better
My favorite fillings are Cheese, Spinach and a meat/fish choice. Recently used up crab meat we had frozen from last summer’s haul. INCREDIBLE!
I love to add mushrooms, onions, red bell pepper and a little bit of cheese.
Crab!!

Cheese, cheese and more cheese with sautéed tomatoes and onions
Cheese! (Most) any kind will do and the more the better 🙂

I love adding spinach, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and avocado to my omelets. I love your idea of putting the filling for a thai spring roll in an omelet – genius!
I’m not much of an omelet eater but I sure could use an eggbeater,
Uncooked tomato, onion and green pepper; or shrimp; or sauteed apples and cheddar cheese. Many more, it depends on the mood!
My favorite omelet filling is avocado and a spoonful of salsa with a little goat cheese.
Favorite omelet filling – spinach, onion and a touch of bacon! (I’m looking forward to trying Leah H’s apples and cheddar!)
Cheddar cheese, green onions, chopped tomatoes, diced red peppers! I love eggs!
I like crumbled bits of sausage or bacon, green onion, and swiss or gruyere cheese shreds.
I love mushrooms and cheese
My favorite is ham and cheese.

Hi I like my omelette plain. I mix some soya sauce to the raw egg and beat them together before frying the egg. It is tasty and simple!
