American omelets are prepared by beating eggs in a bowl with some salt and pepper. This is then transferred to a lightly heated and buttered pan. Once the bottom starts to set, the edges of the egg are lifted out from the side towards the center using a spatula or spoon, to allow the runny bits to run to the bottom of the pan and set.
With the French omelet, the standard is to whisk about two eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper, which are normally cooked in a buttered pan by shaking the pan, as well as stirring the eggs.
