INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for Mary Berry's omelette recipe
Step 1
Break two eggs into a bowl, add a dash of water and whisk with a fork.
Step 2
Add a good pinch of salt, black pepper and chop some chives into the mixture.
Step 3
Melt a knob of butter in a very hot pan, then tip the egg mixture in and gently even it out with a spatula so it browns evenly. Mary says that if she sees a bubble form, she gives it a little bang.
