Cheese Omelette

Method

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a small pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk thoroughly until completely smooth and uniform.

2. 2

   Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-LOW heat and add the butter. Let it melt and foam but not brown.

3. 3

   Pour in the eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the set edges toward the center, tilting the pan so raw egg flows into the gaps.

4. 4

   When the eggs are mostly set but still a little glossy and wet on top (about 2 minutes), scatter the cheese over one half. Don't overcook — a dry omelette is a sad omelette.

5. 5

   Tilt the pan and fold the empty half over the cheese half with your spatula. Let it sit 30 seconds for the cheese to melt.
