Omelette
In a small bowl beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Melt 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) of shortening in a 9″ or 10″ (22 cm or 25 cm) skillet. Add half the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat without stirring until eggs are set. Sprinkle ¹/₄ C.

Cook for about 1 minute, or until heated through. Slide onto heated platter. Keep warm in 175ºF (80ºC) oven while preparing other omelet. Repeat with remaining egg mixture and filling. Serve immediately.
