Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until well combined.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter, letting it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted and is bubbling slightly, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently and continuously lift the edge of the omelette, letting the uncooked eggs flow underneath and cook.
Step 5
Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, fold it in half and slide it onto a plate.
Step 6
Season the omelette with the desired amount of salt and pepper and serve hot.
