The perfect omelette

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons of water

butter to coat pan

Method:

1. Beat eggs and water together in a small bowl. 2. Place butter in the pan to coat it with heat on high. 3. Add egg mixture. As the egg starts to cook, gently bring the sides toward the middle, letting the liquid fill in the spaces. 4. At the same time, add your filling - ham, onions, peppers, cheese, tomatoes - on one side and fold over. 5. Cook for 60 seconds and flip omelette. 6. Cook for another 30 seconds and slide omelette onto plate.

Note: If you are making more than one omelette, beat all your eggs and water together and use a full cooking ladle for each omelette. A full ladle is equal to two eggs and two tablespoons of water.
