Method

Preparation

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all ingredients needed for the omelette. If using vegetables, chop them into small pieces. If using meat, ensure it is cooked and diced. Grate or slice your cheese if necessary.

Cooking the Omelette

Beat the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, crack the 3 eggs. Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy.

Heat the Pan

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling, ensuring the butter coats the bottom of the pan.

Cook the Eggs

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Add Fillings

Once the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, sprinkle your choice of fillings (cheese, vegetables, cooked meat, and herbs) evenly over one half of the omelette.

Fold the Omelette

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filled half. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through to your liking.

Serve

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate. Cut in half if desired and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious three-egg omelette!
