Stir the eggs with a fork, moving the pan about with a circular motion. When the omelette begins to set around the edges, lift it and add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. When the first faint odor of browning is evident, turn the omelette as you would a pancake and brown lightly on the other side. Slide it onto a hot platter to serve.
SCRAMBLED EGGS
Eggs may be scrambled properly in one of two ways—over direct heat in a skillet or in the top of a double boiler. If they are scrambled over direct heat, the flame should be very low. The top of a double boiler is ideal for scrambling eggs because of the constant low temperature which it provides, assuring Smoothness and delicacy. Frequently eggs are scrambled over hot water in a chafing dish. They may be served plain or with bacon, sausages, mushrooms, asparagus tips or tomato sauce.
