2 to 3 eggs per person
Cold water
Butter or non-stick cooking spray
Omelet extras: chopped veggies, cheese, bacon - you name it!
9"or 12" skillet
Mixing bowl, fork, and a spatula

1. To prepare your eggs,crack them into your mixing bowl and add ½ oz. of cold water per egg. Mix with a fork until the yolk and whites are evenly blended. Water works better than milk to make your omelet light and fluffy!
2. Place your pan over a medium flame, add a pat of butter (or cooking spray), and melt to coat the bottom of the skillet. Make sure the pan is pre-heated before you begin to cook your eggs, you can test this by sprinkling a tiny bit of water in the pan. If it sizzles, then you are ready to go.
3. Pour eggs into the skillet, making sure you add enough to spread easily over the bottom of the pan. Let the eggs cook untouched until they start to solidify, then use a spatula to make sure they aren't sticking to the pan. If some of the egg remains liquid on top, you can tilt the pan and let it run off of the cooked outsides.
4. Sprinkle on all veggies, cheeses, and whatever else you like - making sure to cover only half of the omelet.
5. Now you are ready to fold it. This may be a little tricky, but you will get the hang of it. With your spatula, fold the empty side of the omelet on to the half filled with your chosen ingredients. Be careful not to rip the egg when you fold it.
6. Once folded over, let the egg cook for another minute or two, then, when all the cheese is melted, slide the omelet on to a plate.

Bright idea: Have all veggies, etc. pre-cut before you start cooking. Also, if you are adding any meat, make sure it is pre-cooked.
