Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the egg with water until well mixed.
- Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted, then coat the bottom of the pan with the melted butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Cook without stirring until the edges begin to set.
- Gently push cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty space.
- When the egg is set and the bottom is light golden, sprinkle cheese over one half of the egg.
- Fold the omelet in half with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
