Ingredients

Eggs                                                        3 nos

Salt                                                          to taste

Pepper                                                     to taste

Clarified butter or oil                                as needed

Technique of production:

1. Beat the egg well; season them with the salt and pepper.
2. Heat the clarified butter in an omelets pan / non -stick pan over high heat.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and scramble with a wooden spoon. Move the pan and utensil at the same time until the egg mixture has coagulated slightly. (Add the filling at this point, if desired).
4. Let the egg mixture finish cooking without stirring.
5. Tilt the pan and slide a wooden spoon around the lip of the pan, under the omelets, to be sure it is not sticking. Slide the omelets to the front of the pan and use the fork or wooden spoon to fold it inside to the center.
6. Turn the pan upside down, rolling the omelets onto the plate. The finished omelets should be oval shaped.
