Crack three eggs into a bowl and gently whisk them with a fork, avoiding creating too much foam.
Melt a small piece of butter in a pan over medium heat, allowing it to fully melt without browning.
Pour the eggs into the pan all at once and wait until you hear a gentle sizzling. Then, stir the eggs softly to form small curds.
Let the eggs begin to set gently, so the edges are lightly firm while the center remains slightly runny.
Season with a pinch of sea salt and add optional ingredients like cheese, fresh basil, or tomatoes to taste.
Tilt the pan away from you and fold one third of the eggs inward, then carefully roll the omelette over itself.
Slide the omelette forward in the pan and tuck the back edge underneath the roll.
Add a small pat of butter on top and brush it over the omelette, then sprinkle with fresh salt, black pepper, and optionally fresh herbs.
Serve the classic French omelette immediately while still warm.
