Make an Omelet for One
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare about ½ cup filling for the omelet. Below are some ideas, but make it your own by choosing your favorite combinations.
- Sauteed or fresh veggies: onion, green peppers, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, salsa, etc.
- Cheese: cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, American, Mexican blend, parmesan, etc.
- Cooked meats: ham, bacon, turkey sausage, chicken, Canadian bacon, etc.
Step 2: Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons water. Whisk.
Step 3: Stir in some flavor. Below are some ideas. Seasoning can be as creative or as simple as you like.
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic or garlic powder
- Sauces: soy, hot sauce, pesto
- Herbs: oregano, cilantro, parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage
- Spices: cumin, chili powder, paprika, taco seasoning, cayenne pepper
Step 4: Heat a small- to medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray when the pan is hot (it should sizzle).
Step 5: Add egg mixture and tilt to coat the bottom of the pan with egg. The mixture should set immediately at the edges.
Step 6: Gently push the cooked portions from the edge toward the center with a spatula. Tilt the pan to let the liquid eggs run to the pan’s sur face to cook.
Step 7: When the top of the eggs is set with no liquid remaining, place the fillings on one side of the omelet.
Step 8: Fold the omelet in half using a spatula. Fold the plain half over the filling ingredients.
Step 9: Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve immediately.
