Directions
-
Crack eggs into a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Wait until the foam subsides but the butter has not browned.
-
Pour in half of the egg mixture. Tilt the skillet gently to spread the eggs evenly across the bottom.
-
Cook for about 1 minute, or until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny. Use a fork to gently stir the top layer while shaking the skillet, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
-
Sprinkle your desired fillings (such as cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or diced peppers) over half of the omelet. Cook for another minute until the eggs are set but still moist.
-
Carefully fold the empty side of the omelet over the filled side using a spatula. Let it cook for a few more seconds to meld the flavors.
-
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Keep it warm in a low oven or under foil while you prepare the second omelet with the remaining eggs, butter, and fillings using the same method.
