TheIndonesia.id - An omelette is simple and quick dish for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This classic meal is not only easy but also a cheap and nutritious dish. 

All you need for the basics of your omelette is a couple of eggs and a knob of butter. You might think that you need to add milk just like when you are making scrambled eggs. In fact, you only need to beat the eggs and season. 

Don't forget to prepare a decent pan - for example, a 23 cm frying pan. 

Then the filling is up to you! Whatever filling you do decide on, take your time to prepare it before you start to make your omelette.
