Basic Omelet Recipe

Incredible Egg.org is the organization that taught me eggs get fluffy by adding water, and rubbery by adding milk! Here is their recipe for a basic omelet
(Multiply the recipe by as many servings as you need and use 1/2 cup of the egg mixture for each omelet.)

things you'll need

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/8 teaspoon salt, optional
• Dash pepper, optional
• 1 teaspoon butter or cooking oil OR cooking spray

getting started

1. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs and water with the salt and pepper, if desired, until blended.
2. In a 7- to 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter until it’s just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
3. Pour in the egg mixture. (The mixture should set immediately at the edges).
4. With an inverted pancake turner, carefully push the cooked portions at the edges of the pan toward the center so the uncooked portions can reach the hot pan surface, tilting the pan and moving the cooked portions as necessary.
5. When the top of the omelet is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, fill the omelet, if desired.
6. With a pancake turner, fold the omelet in half or roll it.
7. Invert the omelet onto a plate with a quick flip of the wrist or slide the omelet from the pan onto a serving plate.
