Easy French Omelette Recipe
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter or margarine (1/4 stick) or salad oil
Choice of Omelet Fillings (right, optional)
Directions
1. In small bowl, with wire whisk or fork, beat eggs, water, salt, and pepper. In 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter or margarine, tilting skillet to grease sides. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook until set around edge.
2. With metal spatula, gently lift edge as it sets, tilting skillet to allow uncooked portion to run under omelet. Shake skillet occasionally to keep omelet moving freely in pan. When omelet is set but still moist on top, increase heat slightly to brown bottom of omelet.
3. If desired, add filling. Tilt skillet and, with spatula, fold omelet in half; slide onto heated platter.
