Crack the eggs, one at a time at the mid-point between the more-rounded (wide) end and the pointier end of the egg by hitting it against the sharp edge of the small bowl. Hold the egg over the bowl with the cracked part facing up. Pry the shell open gently and allow the egg to slide into the bowl. Add the salt, and use the fork or whisk to beat the eggs until they are pale yellow. If you're using any Yummy Extras (see below), add them in now.

Put the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Pour in the egg mixture and tilt the pan to spread the eggs around the bottom.

When the eggs look firm and set, gently and carefully shake the skillet to loosen the omelet.

Using your spatula, fold the omelet in half and then slide it onto the plate.

Serve right away.
