2. 2

   Add the water and beat again.

3. 3

   Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   Place butter in a 9-1/2 inch omelet pan over medium heat and when the butter bubbles, tilt the pan so that the butter coats the sides.

5. 5

   Pour in the egg-water mixture and, as it cooks, use a knife to pull the mixture away from the sides of the pan.

   Continue to do this until the omelet is cooked.

8. 8

   Using a spatula, loosen the omelet from the pan.

9. 9

   Flip one half of the omelet over the other half (away from the handle) and slide it on to a platter.

    Garnish with parsley and serve.

    For scrambled eggs, pour into a cold skillet into which you have placed 2 TBS of melted butter and cook over medium heat, constantly scraping the egg away from the bottom of the pan.
