1
Whisk eggs with seasoning
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 0.25 tsp salt and 0.125 tsp ground black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

2
Melt butter in skillet
Place a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl until melted and foaming.
3
Cook eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow them to sit briefly, then gently tilt or lift the edges toward the center so uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Cook until the omelet is mostly set but still a little runny on top.
4
Add cheese and fold
Sprinkle 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelet. Fold the other half over the cheese and cook for about 1 minute more, until cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
5
Plate and serve
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve immediately with a light sprinkle of extra salt and pepper if desired.
