Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Salt & pepper
- Olive oil
- Knob of butter
- Handful grated cheese of choice
Method
- 1. Heat a medium sized non-stick frying pan over medium-to-medium low heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of oil and add the butter.
- 2. While butter is melting, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and some black pepper in a small bowl.
- 3. When butter starts to foam, pour the beaten eggs into the pan, tilting the pan so that the egg spreads all over the surface.
- 4. From time to time, use a spatula to scrape the egg from the sides, tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg fills the scraped space. Do this until the egg is mostly set on top.
- 5. Sprinkle over the cheese (and other fillings of your choice) then fold over the omelette in half with your spatula. Cook for further 1-2 minutes so that the cheese is melted, then slide the omelette from the pan onto a plate. Garnish with a bit more salt & pepper, fresh herbs or sauce of your choice (hot sauce, salsa, tomato relish, etc.)
