How to Make an Omelette

 For each omelette:

• 2 large eggs

• Pinch salt

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

• 2 tablespoons grated cheese, any kind

• Desired fillings
  

• 2 tablespoons chopped herbs of your choice, optional

1. Prep the eggs:

   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a small pinch of salt and beat the eggs with a fork until they are well combined.
2. Melt the butter:

   In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
3. Add the eggs and cook the omelette:

   Add the eggs to the skillet and cook without stirring until the edges begin to set. With a silicone spatula, push the edges toward the center of the pan and tilt the pan so the uncooked eggs move to the edge.

   Repeat until the eggs are somewhat set but still a little soft in the center, about 6 minutes.

4. Fill the omelette:

   Place the cheese, other desired fillings, and herbs in a line down the center of the omelette and cook for about 1 minute longer, or until the eggs are mostly set but still a little soft in the center.

5. Fold and plate the omelette:

   Slide the spatula around one side of the omelette at the edge to loosen it. Slip it under the eggs, and use it to carefully fold the omelette in half. Slide the spatula under the folded omelette to loosen it from the pan. Tilt the pan over a plate and use the spatula to nudge it onto the plate.
