• 2 large free-range eggs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Splash of cream or milk (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

Method

1. Break the eggs into a bowl with the salt, pepper and milk
2. Mix roughly with a knife. Don't whisk - it's nice to get some white and yolk only areas in the omelette
3. Add the butter to a small frying pan
4. When the butter is foaming add the mixture to the pan
5. Fry for 2 minutes on this side, pulling the solid edges to the centre with a fork
6. Flip over and fry for 1 minute on the other side
7. Slide on to a warm serving plate, folding the omelette - this way, the last bit of cooking is done on the plate

Serving suggestions

Serve immediately

Add some tomatoes at the side and a leaf of coriander or mint so it looks different and tastier.

Also you can put a drop of mayonnaise on the top of the tomatoes and an olive.

Variations

Experiment using chopped herbs such as chives or parsley.

Rub the pan with half a garlic clove prior to frying (discard the garlic).

Add a handful of microwaved mixed vegetables just before folding over.
