hi I'm Alison from the Canadian Living Test Kitchen today we're going to show you how to make a folded omelet almost can make a wonderful lunch or dinner entree they're quick economical and easy to make here's what you need to get started we have butter 3 eggs already cracked some water some salt and some pepper and then as our feelings today we are going to be using Tomatoes Swiss cheese and chopped chives so let me get started we have three eggs here I'm going to place them in our Bowl I also want to add a little bit of water about a tablespoon or so and I have a little bit of salt and pepper I'm just going to whisk our eggs together here until they're a little bit frothy now we're using water in place of cream and our omelet here because we find that the water creates a lot of steam which then evaporates and makes a really light airy omelet whereas cream can sometimes make an omelet a little bit heavier and all it really should only take 2 to 3 minutes first thing I'm going to do is melt our butter in the pan you want to make sure it's foamy so swirl it around in the pan to make sure it gets all over right now that's melted and what a tip our egg mixture into the pan as you can see it's cooking already at the edges just be sure to run your spatula along the edges and move those cooked edges into the center while tipping your pan to allow that uncooked egg mixture to run off to the side continue to cook until underside is set but top is still a little bit runny this is your cue to add your feelings I have my tries which I'm sprinkling over top here my Swiss cheese and the heat is going to melt this cheese nicely and I also have some chopped tomatoes and that's it it's almost set now when I fold it the residual heat in the almond is going to finish cooking this omelet filling options are really only limited by your imagination for more great tips and recipes please visit Canadian living comm or pick up a copy of Canadian Living magazine
