Basic Omelette

Beat the eggs in a bowl, just enough to mix the whites with the yolks

Season with salt and black pepper to taste

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of melted butter, and tilt the pan to spread it evenly

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, when it starts to set, lift the edges and tilt the skillet so the uncooked egg can flow underneath

While the omelette is still slightly moist but has started to firm up, fold it in half, let it cook for a few more seconds, then slide it onto a warm plate to serve

Serves 4-6.
