An omelette is a quick and easy light meal, and something I enjoy for lunch from time to time. 3 eggs makes a good sized omelette for one person, though to be honest that number is based on the fact it cooks well in my smaller frying pan. Any fewer and it would be too thin and burn in the middle. So you might want to adjust depending on your equipment. An omelette is very easy to make, when you know how. It also is flexible - you can add herbs or fillings to your heart's content. Here are the basic instructions - dress it up as you like.
Basic ingredients:
3 eggs
2-3 tbsp. milk
salt to taste
1-2 tsp herbs of choice - I like chives
Butter or coconut oil
Method:
Melt some butter or coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Whisk all other ingredients together in a small bowl. When pan is heated, pour omelette mixture into pan. Cook gently until bottom is brown and top is almost set. Ease the edges loose and fold omelette in half, sliding folded omelette to centre of pan. Cook a little longer on both sides until done.
Optional: add other ingredients, such as a little grated cheese, or make the omelette more substantial by adding chopped bacon or other cooked meats, diced cooked potatoes etc; place these on top after pouring in the mixture.
