Oh, My! Omelet

1 . Stage

Heat the nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it's hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle, it's hot enough to cook your eggs.

2 . Stage

Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce, and beat with the fork. Pour the eggs into the skillet so they cover most of the pan. Let them cook undisturbed until the edges get solid.

3 . Stage

After the edges are solid, scatter the tomato, sprouts, and cream cheese over one side (one half) of the cooked egg.

4 . Stage

When the eggs are no longer runny, carefully slip the spatula under the half without the goodies. With one quick flip, fold the egg in half. Did you get it all in one piece? Congratulations! Did it tear? No biggie—it'll still taste great.

5 . Stage

Turn off the stove, slide the omelet onto a plate, and enjoy.

6 . Stage
