Omelet for One

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.

    Serve immediately.
