One key to cooking an omelet is to cook it until the bottom is firm and set but the top still looks a little wet. If it looks dry, then your omelet will be dry. The eggs will finish cooking in the residual heat that builds up when it is folded.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Egg
4 large egg(s)
Scallions
2 Tbsp
Table salt
¼ tsp
Black pepper
⅛ tsp
Hot pepper sauce

½ cup(s)
Shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup(s)
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, scallions, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
