  • Cooking: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2–3 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Add a tablespoon of water or milk if you prefer a fluffier texture.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  3. Cook the omelette: Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, pour in the eggs. Tilt the pan to evenly coat the surface.
