1
Prepare the Ingredients
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until well combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste and mix again.
2
Chop Optional Add-Ins
If adding protein or vegetables, chop them into small pieces and set aside. Grate or slice cheese if using.

3
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
4
Cook the Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If using, sprinkle the prepared cheese, protein, and vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet.
6
Fold and Finish Cooking
Once the eggs are set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the omelet in half over the fillings. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.

7
Plate the Omelet
Gently slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve hot with your choice of side, such as toast, fruit, or salad.
