Directions

  1. BEAT eggs and water in small bowl until blended.

  4. When top surface of eggs is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, SEASON with salt and pepper. PLACE cheese on one side of omelet; TOP with spinach and ham. FOLD omelet in half with turner. With a quick flip of the wrist, TURN pan and INVERT or SLIDE omelet onto plate. SERVE immediately.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
