Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped garnishes (see box at right)
  • 1 tablespoon butter , olive oil, coconut oil, or cooking fat of choice
  • Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl.
  • Beat them with a fork until the yolks and whites are blended together.
  • Stir in the garnishes (except cheese, if using).
  • Heat the butter or oil in a small skillet (8-9 inches, preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, gently tilt the pan to swirl around the butter or oil until the bottom is evenly coated.
  • Pour in the eggs, stirring vigorously with a fork for about 20-30 seconds. (Use a heatproof non-metal spatula instead of a fork to avoid scratching a nonstick pan if you’re using one.) This creates a very small curd, like the start to very finely scrambled eggs. It’s helpful to shake the skillet a bit while you are stirring to allow the liquid on top to have a chance to cook by reaching the bottom of the pan.
  • Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the eggs to season them. This is also the optimal time to add grated cheese, if using.
  • At this point, let the omelet set for a few seconds.
  • Then, starting with the edge of the omelet closest to the skillet handle, gently use your fork or spatula to roll it over toward the far side.
  • Tilt the pan up just a little bit to help it come together.
  • Carefully tip the omelet over and out of the skillet onto a serving plate.
  • The entire cooking process should only take a few minutes. The result should be an omelet that is still rather soft in the middle.
