Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and beat them with a whisk or fork until the whites and yolks are fully mixed and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again to combine.

Step 3

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add the extra virgin olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up gently, without letting it smoke.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few moments until they begin to set around the edges.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently push the set edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the outer edges. Repeat this process until most of the egg is set but still a bit runny on top.

Step 6

Fold the omelette in half with the spatula and allow it to cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, depending on how well done you prefer your eggs.

Step 7

Slide the finished omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
