Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 fresh tomato, sliced
• Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

1. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk together with salt and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and let it set for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.
4. As the eggs begin to set, tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
5. When the top is still slightly creamy but the bottom is set, fold the omelette in half.
6. Transfer to a serving plate and arrange fresh tomato slices on the side.
7. Serve immediately while hot.

Tips & Notes

• Use room temperature eggs for a fluffier omelette
• Don’t overcook—the omelette should be slightly creamy inside
