Things You'll Need:
- 2 eggs
- butter for the pan
- dash black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. water
- Groceries
- Wire whisk
- Spatula
- Mixing bowls
- Omelet pans
- Forks
-
Step 1
Combine eggs, water, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Beat with a fork until combined but not too frothy.
-
Step 2
Melt a little butter (1 or 2 tsp.) over medium-high to high heat.
-
Step 3
When the butter stops foaming, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and without moving the skillet, allow the eggs to set on the bottom (this should only take a few seconds).
-
Step 4
As eggs set, take a spatula and push the edges of the egg mixture in, allowing the uncooked eggs on top to flow underneath and make direct contact with the skillet. Repeat the procedure at various spots around the edge of the setting egg mixture.
-
Step 5
When eggs are set but still shiny, remove the omelette from the heat. The whole process should take just 2 or 3 minutes.
-
Step 6
Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a warm plate.

on 11/22/2005 I don't like an omelet with a moist center. To avoid this, I always flip the omelet to cook the other side. It's really pretty easy to do. Make sure you are using a good non-stick pan with gently curving sides. If your pan is hot enough, the omelet should move freely. Pick the pan up, swirl the eggs around a couple times (to make sure they aren't sticking), and pull the pan back toward you. Don't be timid or you'll just fold the eggs in half.
Eggs are pretty inexpensive. Buy an extra dozen, try this out a few times, you'll have it mastered. It's always fun to impress the guests!

on 11/22/2005 Why stop with an omelette? Or its filling? Omelettes are great on top of golden hashbrowns and little meat cubes (your choice of course) and any other ingredient for a breakfast skillet. Personally I like mine with Picante or Tabasco sauce for the delicious southwestern skillet. ;)
