Basic omelette recipe
To cook each omelette (serves one), whisk 3 eggs and season. Heat a large knob of butter in a small frying pan until foaming and pour in the eggs. Cook over a medium heat, drawing in the edges with a spatula so the raw egg runs into the gaps and cooks. Keep cooking until the omelette is set but still a little oozy on top. Fill, fold and serve.
