Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 50 g butter
• Salt

Preparation:

Beat eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and beat lightly with a fork.

Throw butter into a frying pan, melt it over low heat. Tilt the pan in all directions to grease the entire surface.

Pour almost all of the melted butter into the egg mixture in a thin stream.

Put the pan back. Heat a little over medium heat and pour the beaten eggs into it. Reduce heat.

Shake the pan from side to side from time to time. After about five minutes, the top layer will thicken so much that when the pan is tilted 30 degrees, it will stop sliding down, and the whole egg pancake will begin to slide. But if you touch the surface of the omelet with a spoon, you can feel that it is still liquid. This is the consistency you want.

Turn off the heat immediately and roll the omelet into a tube. Drop on a plate. If the omelet is left in a hot frying pan, then the same consistency will "run away".

Sprinkle with herbs.
