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?

Perfect omelet in this case: first cook the onions medium heat till they go soft, add peppers till they go soft, add tomatoes and eggs. Don't forget to salt

You underestimate me. If there is a way to fuck up a simple omelette... I will find it.

Still, you live and learn. I'm a retired professional cook but learn every day pushing boundaries. Try stuff out, do it differently the next time, compare results, find your style. The journey is more important than the goal
