• Use one large stainless steel frying pan. Add one teaspoon of virgin olive oil or peanut oil per two eggs in 1/8 of a cup of hot water and bring to a boil.

• Remove the lid and quickly add in your eggs to the mix and cover immediately on medium-high for 1 minute without stirring.( Use a glass lid if possible so you can watch the eggs rise)
• Remove the lid , and add water as you take your spatula and slip under the the eggs, so it steams the eggs from the bottom up.
• Turn the heat down to very low and cover and let the water simmer into the eggs and cook slowly four 90 seconds. *If necessary pull the pan off the heat in 60 seconds to check, if cooked. Then flip the eggs over again and turn off the heat and let The Omelet rise, till cooled enough to serve.
• You can add a little bit of sharp cheese to the top of it warm eggs as you serve them especially for female parrots, some need the extra calcium but not too much cheese!
