Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, pepper and water, if using, until just blended. Set aside.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over high. Add butter and tilt pan in all directions to coat bottom and sides. When butter foam has almost subsided but just before it browns, pour in eggs.
  3. Shake pan briefly to spread eggs over bottom and pan, then let pan sit for several seconds undisturbed while eggs coagulate on the bottom. If adding any fillings, such as sautéed vegetables, do so now.
  4. Start jerking pan toward you, throwing eggs against the far edge. Keep jerking roughly, gradually lifting pan up by handle and tilting far edge of pan over heat as omelette begins to roll over on itself. Use a rubber spatula to push any stray egg back into mass. Then bang on handle close to the pan with a fist and omelette will start curling at its far edge.
  5. To unmold, manoeuvre omelette to one side of pan. Fold the third of the omelette farthest from you over on itself. Lift pan and hold a serving plate next ot it.
  6. Tilt pan toward plate, allowing omelette to slide onto it and fold over on itself into thirds.
  7. Spear a lump of of butter with a fork and rapidly brush it over the top of the omelette Garnish with parsley.
  8. And so is the omelette from Julia Child!
