Chinese style omelettes

An omelette is made from beaten eggs fried with butter or oil in a frying pan. Ready in seconds, an omelette can be made with almost anything. Basically you whisk some eggs together, cook them in a non-stick pan with a little oil, add the filling of your choice and then fold it and serve (western style) with salad or cooked vegetables. I like to cook it as a side dish for our meals.

  

Ingredients for Plain omelette

2 eggs

A knob of butter

Crack the eggs into a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Put in a little milk so that the omelette can be fluffy. Beat slightly with a fork.

Heat up a small frying pan on low heat. Add a small knob of butter.

When the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the eggs and move the pan around to spread them out evenly.

When the bottom is brown, fold it over and slide onto the plate.

We normally have this type of omelette for breakfast
