Ingredients
  

For the Omelette:
  • 2 large eggs
  • to taste sea salt
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or extra-virgin olive oil for the pan
Desired Fillings:
  • to taste shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta)
  • to taste chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes)
  • to taste cooked meats (ham, turkey, bacon)
  • to taste fresh herbs (chives, parsley, cilantro)

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Whisk or fork
  • Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by gathering your ingredients. Crack the two large eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
  2. Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, pour in the beaten eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds to set, then gently stir with your spatula, pushing the cooked edges toward the center.
  4. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add your desired fillings. Sprinkle them evenly over one half of the omelette.
  5. Carefully lift the edge of the omelette without fillings and fold it over the filled half. Let it cook for another minute to ensure the fillings are warmed through.
  6. Slide the omelette onto a plate, and if desired, garnish with fresh herbs or additional seasoning. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Experiment with fillings to find your favorite combinations.
  • For a fluffier omelette, whisk the eggs well to incorporate air.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
