Preparation time
  • Total:Approximately 10 minutes
  • Cooking Time:5 minutes
  • Preparation:5 minutes
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil
  • optional fillings: sliced vegetables, shredded cheese, herbs, cooked ham or bacon
Instructions
  1. Beat the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This helps to make the omelette fluffy.
  2. Prepare the Pan: To check if the pan is hot enough, sprinkle a tiny bit of water; if it sizzles immediately, you're ready.
  3. Cook the Omelette: Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the eggs start to set around the edges.
  4. Add Fillings: If using toppings, sprinkle them evenly over one half of the omelette. For cheese, sprinkle on top of the fillings so it melts in the heat.
  5. Fold and Finish Cooking: With a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half, covering the fillings. Let it cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
  6. Serve: Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
