Adding just a teaspoon of water to beaten eggs before cooking gives them a slightly lighter and more airy texture than plain cooked eggs. The water creates steam, which forces air through the eggs, making them fluffier.

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and add 1 teaspoon water. Whisk the eggs just until the whites and yolks are blended.


then cook the eggs

Place a 7-inch (18-cm) nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the butter, carefully tilting and swirling the pan to spread the butter evenly over the pan bottom. When the foam subsides, add the eggs and let cook for a few seconds. Using a spatula, push one side of the omelet toward the center of the pan, tilting the pan gently so the uncooked egg runs under the cooked egg and over the exposed pan bottom. Continue along the other sides of the pan until there is no more runny egg. The top should still be creamy. Add a couple spoonfuls of your favorite fillings over the top of the omelet.

finally serve the omelet

Holding the omelet pan by the handle over a serving plate, slide the omelet onto the plate. Let the omelet cool slightly. Then, using your fingertips or a fork and knife, roll it up to conceal the filling inside. Serve hot.
