Ingredients:
Ingredients (for 1 large omelet to feed 2 people)
3 eggs (not fresh- use fresh eggs for poached and older eggs for omelet)
olive oil and butter (1/2 tablespoon each)
2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese (See other *fillings below)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley)
*Optional Fillings
I like one or any combo of these: minced and sauteed onions, chopped ham, chopped and sauteed bell pepper, goat cheese, chopped and sauteed mushrooms, minced salami, cheddar cheese...........

Preparation:
Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan with the oil & butter over medium heat until it melts.
Pour in eggs and cook as you shake the pan and use the back of the fork to evenly distribute the egg making sure to spread the eggs out over the whole pan, it will no longer be runny and the bottom will begin to set, as soon as this happens set the timer for 2 minutes.
As the timer goes off quickly sprinkle the cheese and some herbs all over the egg.
Remove from the heat (immediately) and shake the pan to loosen, once you are sure it is loose on all edges flip 1/3 on to itself and then the other 1/3 over that (Kind of like folding a letter in thirds to fit into a business size envelope.) Place it on the plate folded sides down and slice in two.
Serve with fresh herbs sprinkled on top and share with a loved one!
