Parmesan Cheese Omelet

Break two eggs into a basin and dust over with a very little pepper and cayenne. Put one ounce of butter into a pan rubbed over with garlic. When it is boiling, pour in the eggs and hold the pan over the fire until the omelet is set; then put a tablespoonful of grated Parmesan cheese on one-half of it, cover with the other half, cook for a minute longer, and serve immediately.
