Steps:
- In a measuring cup, whisk together eggs, water, salt, and pepper.
- Spray cooking spray to coat a microwave-safe plate. (I recommend using a plate with a bit of a lip around the edge!)
- Pour egg mixture onto prepared plate. Add a sprinkle of cheese if desired, or omit to keep your microwave omelette dairy free.
- Cover plate with plastic wrap, sealing around the edges. Cook omelette in microwave on high power for 2 minutes. (It WILL floof up in the microwave, but that's okay-just let it be!)
- Carefully remove plate from microwave, remove plastic wrap, and allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add additional fillings of choice before folding over and adding desired toppings.
- Serve and enjoy with sliced avocado, cooked bacon, or any accompaniments you like!
- Yields 1 microwave omelette.
