1. Crack 1 egg and add it to a pot with an airtight lid, split an egg white from its yolk. Discard yolk and add egg white to the pot. Season and place lid on firmly

2. Shake pot vigorously for 30 seconds whilst heating a pan with a little oil in

3. Pour egg mixture into the pan, from as close to the pan as possible (this is the secret to a great omelete)

4. Add your toppings and allow to cook for approximately 2 minutes, use a spatula (silicone if possible) and turn the omelette over to cook for a further 2 minutes. If it won't turn completely or you're using cheese or cream cheese fold in half, let cook for 2 minutes on one side and then flip for another 2 minutes on the other
