- Beat the eggs, water, salt, pepper and herbs (if using) together. If you do this in a jug it makes it easier to pour into the pan.
- Heat a small, non-stick frying pan. When it is hot, add the oil and pour in the egg mixture.
- Using a plastic egg slice, quickly draw the egg into the centre of the pan. This allows the uncooked egg mixture to get to the bottom of the pan to cook. You will need to do this for a few minutes.
- Continue until the omelette is well cooked, with no runny egg left. You can slip the omelette onto a plate as it is or fold it over before serving. You can serve the omelette with baked beans or, before adding the egg to the pan cook a little chopped onion, cherry tomatoes and peas. Once the onions have softened, add the egg mixture and continue as above.
