I'm no omlette miestro, but I know a thing or two:

1. You've got to cook it slowly (VERY IMPORTANT)
2. You've got to have enough oil, not too much, but enough to coat your pan. It helps if your pan has a nonstick coating.
3. You've got to let your egg cook enough to become fluffy and sort of lift itself from the pan. You can test this very gently with your spatula.
4. When it starts becoming done, that's when you pile on your cheese and whatever else you like.
5. Gently fold each side.
6. Let it cook for just a little longer...just a little
7. Then gently flip it.

It may take you a couple of tries, but that's how I learned.

(For practical care, don't wash your nice nonstick coated pans in the dishwasher. Wash them in nice warm dish soapy water. It keeps the coating from flaking, it keeps the nonstick properties from "dying," and it's just propper maintenance).
