Step 1

Crack 2-3 eggs into a clean bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk until combined.

Step 2

Heat an 8-10" omelette pan over very high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter to your pan. Swirl it around to coat the entire pan.

Step 3

When butter is at a foamy stage, pour eggs into pan. Allow the eggs to set for a few seconds. If you're adding fillings, do so now.

Step 4

The egg mixture should be sizzling and bubbling. Begin shaking your pan - away from you and back without stopping. Your eggs will cook quickly. Tilt and shake to force your egg to roll onto itself or, simply use a rubber spatula to fold the omelette into place.

Step 5

Tilt pan and gently slide omelette onto a plate. Top off with butter, cheese, bacon or fresh herbs. Bon appetit!
