1
Crack the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack 3 large eggs and discard the shells.
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.

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.
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.
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.
6
Fold and Serve
Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
