French Omelet
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoon water, or milk
- 3/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fat
Directions
- Mix eggs, water, salt and pepper with fork.
- Heat fat in 8-inch skillet just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
- Pour in egg mixture.
- It should set at edges at once.
- Reduce heat.
- As the mixture at the edges thickens, draw these portions with the fork toward the center so that the uncooked portions flow to the bottom.
- Tilt skillet to hasten flow of uncooked eggs.
- Shake skillet to keep omelet sliding freely.
- Keep mixture as level as possible.
- When eggs are set and surface is still moist, increase heat to brown bottom quickly.
