Paris-Inspired Omelet

This omelet’s name is derived from one of our favorite movies, Disney’s Ratatouille. Once I suggested “Let’s make an omelet like Remy does,” the kids were sold. We make it with basil (just like in the movie), but anything goes!

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon water

Kosher salt and black pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 ounce shredded cheese

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Combine eggs and water in a bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste, and whisk well. Add basil to egg mixture. Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add eggs and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until eggs begin to set. Using a spatula, gently pull in the sides of the omelet to let the uncooked egg run to the edges of the pan. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and gently fold in half. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted.
