    2 tsp (10 mL) butter, dividedGranny Smith apple, peeled and thinly slicedGround nutmeg, to taste1 tsp (5 mL) sugar2 eggs1 Tbsp (15 mL) water1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped pecans3/4 oz (25 g) Brie cheese

    Heat a nonstick 8 in (20 cm) ovenproof skillet* over medium heat. Melt 1 tsp (5 mL) butter in skillet. Saut apple slices in butter until slightly transparent but not too soft, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg and sugar. Remove from pan and keep warm.

    Beat together eggs and water. Heat same skillet over medium-high heat. Melt remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) butter in skillet. Pour in egg mixture. As mixture sets at edges, with spatula, gently push cooked portions toward the centre. Tilt and rotate the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.

    When egg is almost set on surface but still looks moist, cover one half of the omelette with warm apple mixture and pecans. Slip spatula under the unfilled side and fold the omelette in half. Garnish with Brie cheese. Broil 1 to 2 minutes to melt cheese. Slide onto warm plate and serve immediately.

    Serves 1.

    *If skillet is not ovenproof, wrap handle with double thickness of aluminum foil.

    Tip

    Skillet is hot enough when a drop of water will roll around instead of bursting into steam immediately.

    Suggestion for a complete meal
