Basic french plain omelet
Beat together eggs, water, salt and pepper until blended. In a 7- to 10-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Pour in egg mixture. (Mixture should set immediately at edges.) With an inverted pancake turner, carefully push cooked portions at edges toward center so uncooked portions can reach hot pan surface, tilting pan and moving cooked portions as necessary. While top is still moist and creamy-looking*, fill, if desired. With pancake turner, fold omelet in half or roll. Invert onto plate with a quick flip of the wrist or slide from pan onto plate.
*It is better to fill omelet when it is slightly underdone. Heat retained in eggs completes the cooking. Yield: 1 serving. (NOTE: Multiply the recipe by as many servings as you need and use 1/2 cup of the egg mixture for each omelet. For a sweet dessert omelet, substitute a pinch of sugar for the salt and pepper.)
"Creative Living" is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden. The show is carried by more than 118 PBS stations in the United States, Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico and is distributed by Westlink, Albuquerque.
