Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as chives, parsley, or dill)

Directions

Step 1

Separate the egg yolks and whites into two clean bowls, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites.

Step 2

Whisk the egg yolks with a pinch of salt until smooth. If using grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs, mix them into the yolks at this stage.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks. This process will take about 2-4 minutes with an electric mixer or slightly longer by hand.

Step 4

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three additions. Use a spatula and fold carefully to retain as much air as possible.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly as the butter melts.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and smooth the surface gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the bottom to set while the top remains airy and soft.

Step 7

If you prefer a fully cooked omelette, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes over low heat. Alternatively, you can transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid overcooking.

Step 8

Once cooked to your liking, carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and fold it in half. Serve immediately with additional herbs or cheese as a garnish, if desired.
