• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter , olive oil, coconut oil, or cooking fat of choice
• Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 ounce grated cheese
• 2-4 tablespoons fillings , cooked and chopped (see below)

Fillings:

• Let whatever strikes your fancy inspire you. Most any cheese will be suitable for an omelet. Even some soft cheeses such as brie or cream cheese marry quite well with other omelet ingredients. As for the fillings themselves , they are often cooked ahead first – particularly if the omelet filling includes meat such as ham or sausage. Cooking the filling ingredients first is also more convenient if you’re making several omelets in a row. You can also top your omelet with the same filling ingredients (an excellent use for anything leftover). Some great-tasting combinations include:
