  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of butter or oil
  • Optional: chopped herbs, grated cheese or diced vegetables for flavour and nutrition

  2. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and add any optional herbs, cheese or vegetables as desired.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of butter or oil.

This soft omelette recipe can be easily modified to suit different tastes and nutritional needs. For example, you could add diced cooked chicken or smoked salmon for extra protein, or chopped spinach or grated carrot for added vitamins and fibre.
