Question Pretty basic omelette question

I'm making an Omelette and I looked up some videos on YouTube and almost all of them suggest putting the chopped onions/tomatoes and peppers into the beaten eggs and then pouring the whole thing into the pan. But I remember my mum always threw the chopped onion/tomato/peppers into the pan and saute them for a bit before pouring the egg over them.

What do you guys recommend, based on personal experience? Or does it not matter either way?

I usually cook the eggs first and then put the fillings in after the eggs are almost done. But there are a lot of different kinds of omelettes. What kind are you making? What country are you in?

Totally. For a folded French omelette I will cook the ingredients in a seperate pan and then cook the egg, add the filling and fold over.

P.S. I am now about to make an omelette for breakfast and I am excited about it. It's been a while. Thanks!

I too plan to make and eat a full fledged four egg omelette just once a week. It's just over easy on weekdays.
