Ingredients
- 4 fresh eggs (past their expiration date)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional fillings: cheese, cooked vegetables, herbs
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the fresh eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a minute.
- Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges towards the center and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Continue cooking until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
- Add your desired fillings to one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings.
- Cook for another minute to melt the cheese (if using) and ensure the omelette is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
