Eggs

Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Crack the Eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack 3 large eggs and discard the shells.

  2. 2

    Season the Eggs

    Add 0.5 tsp of salt and 0.25 tsp of black pepper to the eggs. Whisk them together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbs of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet.

  2. 4

    Add the Eggs

    Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Cook the Omelet

    Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft in the center.

  4. 6

    Fold and Serve

    Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
