Ingredients
* 3 large eggs, preferably room temp

* 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for serving
* 1/4 to 1/3 cup desired filling (onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, diced turkey or ham, crumbled bacon, diced potatoes, chopped asparagus, shrimp or crabmeat, cheese, seeded and diced tomatoes, prepared salsa, diced avocado, diced smoked salmon)
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, tilting to coat pan; after foaming subsides, whisk eggs again and add to skillet.
Cook, stirring quickly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs begin to thicken, abt 30secs. With spatula, pull edges of omelet in toward center, tilting pan so uncooked eggs flow to edges of pan and underneath omelet. Cook until just set but still loose, 15-30secs (omelet will continue to cook once removed from heat).
Sprinkle with filling. Using spatula, loosen omelet from skillet on all sides; shake pan to ensure it is completely released. Tilt pan toward serving plate; with spatula, working from side of skillet that's tilted up, fold 1/3 of omelet over the center.
Simultaneously slide and roll omelet onto plate so that it folds over on itself again and lands seam side down. Brush or dab lightly with butter; serve immediately.
