Wallace’s Omelets
Wallace, who is 12 years old, says the best omelets start with the eggs he collects in his backyard chicken house. Try his secret for making omelets — add an extra egg yolk and a little grated butter — for a creamy, full flavor. (How do you grate butter? The trick is to freeze it first!)Wallace likes to use a shallow cast-iron crรชpe pan, but you can use any shallow pan with sloping sides.
