Ingredients

Imperial | Metric | USA
  • 3 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (cold)
  • 15g butter

Optional

  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

Step 1

Omellete mixture in a bowl

Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Whisk in the water and add seasoning. Do not over beat the mixture as this will ruin the texture.

Step 2

Butter melting in a frying pan

Heat the pan and once hot add the butter. Tip the pan so the entire surface is coated with butter. Once the butter is foaming add the eggs.

Step 3

Omellete in a frying pan

Leave for 30 seconds and then tilt the pan so any liquid mixture in the middle will run to the sides. Repeat the process until all the liquid has set. Cook until the underside is golden and the top is still slightly runny. To serve, use a spatula and fold the omelette in half.
