Ingredients
3 eggs
salt
2 tsp butter
filling of your choice
Instructions
In a bowl, gently whisk eggs with salt and 1 tbsp water. Melt butter in a medium non-stick frying pan with sloping sides over medium heat. Swirl as it melts to coat both the bottom and sides of pan.
Add egg mixture, but don't stir. When edge is set, after 1 minute, use a spatula to lift edge of omelette, pulling toward the centre, and tilting pan so uncooked, liquid egg mixture runs underneath. Slowly repeat until mixture is set, 2 to 3 minutes.
Sprinkle fulling, if using one, across centre of omelette.
Tilt pan beside plate. For a three-fold rolled omelette, lift top third of omelette over filling, then tilt pan so omelette rolls onto itself and onto plate, smooth-side up. For folded omelette, slip spatula under unfilled side and fold over filling.
