Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
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
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
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.

These instructions were so easy it helped soo much thanks for your help. -
I tried this recipe when I did my first omelette, I'm 12 and it worked well! except I used olive oil instead of butter and milk instead of water. It tasted just like my parents omelettes though so thank you!

That was so good! Definitely using this recipe again!

This is great and easy to make and I'm 13 and the house isn't on fire so I'll be making this again!

I tried this as I hadn't cooked an omelette before. It worked really well and tasted lovely, would cook this again.

For a more healthy option, you can use just 1 egg yolk and 3 egg whites.
