Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
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.
Add the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again to combine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Slide the finished omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
