Omelet For One

7 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced onions (about 1/4 onion)
  • 1 mushroom, washed and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon red bell pepper (about 1/8 of a pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft (2 minutes).
  2. 2
    Add mushroom and cook another 2 minutes (or until mushroom is soft).
  3. 3
    Add bell pepper and cook another 2 minutes (or until pepper is soft). Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  4. 4
    Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.
  5. 5
    Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon water and salt and pepper.
  6. 6
    Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch non-stick skillet (or use the same skillet used to cook vegetables in). Pour in the eggs. Cook until edges begin to set- watch because it cooks fast (2-3 seconds).
  7. 7
    With a silicone spatula, stir mixture gently in a circular motion until thickened (10 seconds). Push back egg (from the edges of the pan) that has set so uncooked egg can run underneath. After about 20-30 seconds the top will be still wet but not runny and the omlet will be done. Remove skillet from heat.
  8. 8
    With a silicone spatula fold the lower third (closest to you) of the omlet to the center and then the far edge (1/3rd) towards the center.
  9. 9
    Make a shallow slit the length of the omlet and spoon the vegetables onto it.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately.
