Omelets are one of my favorite gotos in the morning, especially on mornings when I'm off work. Now there are countless different ways of preparing your omelet. I'm just going to show you a basic and simple five minute omelet but you can always tailor it to your own liking and cook it for as long as you like (I personally don't like my omelet too runny).
