Santa Fe Omelet
2 extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon water
Salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons grated mild cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mild green chili sauce, warmed
Grated mild cheddar cheese, for garnish
In a bowl, briefly whisk together the eggs, water, salt,
and pepper, just enough to combine the yolks and whites.
Over high heat, warm a 7- to 8-inch omelet pan or
skillet, preferably nonstick. Add the butter to the pan,
swirling it to coat thoroughly the entire surface. Just
when the butter begins to color, add the egg mixture and
swirl it to coat the entire pan as well. Let t he pan
sit directly over the heat for a few seconds, until the
eggs firm in the bottom on the pan. Sprinkle the cheese
over the eggs. Pull the pan sharply toward you several
times, and then tilt the pan so that the front half of
the omelet begins to roll over the back portion. Use
spatula to help shape the eggs into a loose cylinder.
Tip the omelet out onto a warm serving plate, neatening
it with the spatula, if needed. Pour the chili sauce
over the omelet and sprinkle it with cheese.
Serve immediately.
