Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of black pepper to the eggs.
Whisk the eggs and water together until the mixture is a uniform pale yellow, avoiding any streaks of egg white or yolk.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, tilting the pan to ensure even coating.
Pour the egg mixture into the center of the skillet and jiggle the skillet very gently to let the eggs evenly cover the bottom of the pan.
As the omelette begins to set around the edges, gently lift them with a non-stick spatula and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Continue cooking until the omelette is just barely set on top but still looks slightly wet, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over half of the omelette and then fold it in half with the spatula.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
