Instructions
- Step 1: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foaming but not browned.

- Step 5: Slide the omelette onto a warm plate immediately while still tender and serve.
