Instructions

1

In a bowl, whisk together the fresh eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a minute.

4

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.

5

Continue cooking until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.

6

Add your desired fillings to one half of the omelette.

7

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings.

8

Cook for another minute to melt the cheese (if using) and ensure the omelette is fully cooked.

9

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
