Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon of butter
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- American cheese slices or shredded cheese (as desired)
Equipment:
- Non-stick frying pan
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
Total Time: 6-8 minutes
Servings: 1
Instructions:
1. Begin by cracking the two eggs into a mixing bowl. To avoid shell fragments, crack them on a flat surface rather than the edge of the bowl.
2. Vigorously whisk the eggs until they are completely blended and homogeneous in color.
3. Place a small non-stick frying pan on your stove and set the heat to a low setting (approximately 3 out of 10).
4. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the pan, along with a drizzle of olive oil. Optionally, you can use only butter or only olive oil, according to your preference.
5. Once the butter has melted and the pan is warm, pour the blended eggs into the pan.
6. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about one minute, or until the edges begin to set.
7. Using a spatula, gently push the set edge toward the center of the pan, and then tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg flow to the edge.
8. Repeat this process after another minute and a half for any remaining uncooked egg on the surface.
9. When the egg mixture is set but still slightly soft, place your slices or sprinkle cheese on one half of the omelet.
10. If you're using American cheese slices, they will continue to melt after you fold the omelet over—cook for about 30 seconds. For other types of cheese, you might want to cook it slightly longer to achieve the desired meltiness.
11. Fold the omelet in half over the cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
12. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick pan to ensure your omelet easily slides onto the plate without sticking.
- Don’t overcook the eggs as they will continue to set from the residual heat even after being removed from the pan.
