PERFECT OMELETTES
Steps:

Slowly pour the equivalent of 3 eggs into the saute pan with a swirling motion using a rubber spatula. Stir eggs evenly until they begin to set. Do not scramble the eggs. Once the eggs begin to set, turn down the heat and cook slowly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fill the center with your choice of ingredients.
THE ULTIMATE OMELETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- To clarify the butter, put it in a small pot over low heat and slowly bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat until the butter separates. When the milk solids fall to the bottom and the golden butter- fat rises to the surface remove from heat. Set aside
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in cream. Add pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.
- Preheat the pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of clarified butter. Turn the heat down slightly. Using a 4-ounce ladle, add 1 ladle of eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, start stirring quickly.
- Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Put the pan in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. When you remove the omelette from the oven it should still have a soft custard touch.
- Sprinkle with chopped herbs, a pinch of sea salt and cracked white pepper.
- Serve with roasted mushrooms and watercress.

Steps:
- Separate the egg yolks and whites into 2 separate medium bowls. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the egg whites and, using a hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Season the yolks with salt and pepper and beat until smooth, thickened and slightly pale in color. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the egg yolks and thoroughly mix until there are no streaks. Add half of the Gruyere and the soda water. Pour in the remaining egg whites and gently fold to combine.
- Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams, then pour in the egg mixture, smoothing the top. Cover the skillet and cook until the omelet is golden brown on the bottom and you can lift the edges to peak underneath, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the herbs on top, cover the skillet and cook 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Fold over and serve.
