To make a simple omelette, follow these basic steps:

1. Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk them together until well blended.
2. Heat a small amount of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Pour the eggs into the skillet and swirl to spread evenly.
4. Cook until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny on top.
5. Use a spatula to gently lift and fold one side over the other.
6. Cook for another minute, then slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.

This results in a fluffy, simple omelette that can be enjoyed plain or with fillings like cheese, vegetables, or ham added before folding.
