1. Break the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and beat quickly with a fork.
2. Heat an 8-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. When the pan is hot, quickly brush a little melted butter over the inside.
3. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook for 5 to 10 seconds, until they are just beginning to set very lightly on the bottom.
4. Immediately, scrape the sides toward the middle, using the side of a fork. Carry on, stirring almost constantly, gently shaking the pan with your other hand, until the omelet is cooked to your taste, about 1 1/2 minutes for a firm omelet.
5. Add filling of your choice.
6. To roll the omelet, flip one half over toward the middle, while tilting the pan. Then roll the omelet over to cook the other side.
7. Roll onto a plate and serve.
