Method
Step 2
Beat eggs lightly with a fork or whisk until they are just combined. Add salt and pepper.
Step 2.
When the butter starts to foam, add egg and shake the pan to distribute. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add egg to the pan when it foams, and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula. Use the spatula as the egg starts to cook around the edges.
Step 4
The egg should still be soft but just slightly set after 30 seconds. You want to have a creamy, soft center. Avoid adding too much liquid, as it will continue cooking after it is removed from heat. Use a fork or spatula to fold one side over the filling. Place a plate on top of the pan and tilt it at an angle. Slide the omelet over to the plate, fold-side down. If using, sprinkle grated parmesan or cheese on top and serve right away.
