Three.
Re. "drizzle with maple syrup" -- bleah! I mean, I'm Canadian, but I'm not THAT Canadian. Maple syrup goes in coffee and on pancakes, not omelettes.
Re. the other answers -- I had no idea there was so much variation. Do most people have bigger pans than I do?
With a normal-size pan and nearly half a carton or more, I think you're veering out of omelette territory and into fritatta. Yeah, those are baked, but if you have that many eggs, you're probably one of those filthy cheats who slides the pan under the broiler to finish cooking the top.
All that said, I know somebody who uses about half an egg per; my father makes them literally crepe-thin. They stay intact, they're not fried to a dry crisp or anything; I've never been able to duplicate it, but he can't, I think, be the only one.
So: 0.5-4 = normal
5-6 = normal pig
6+ = fritatta eaters

Depends on the size of your omelet. Generally I use 3 eggs.

an honest omelet?, 2 eggs only. If your going for some sort of awesome 10lb feed the children omelet then feel free to do it with 20 or 30, whatever your pan can handle!!!!!!!!! If you want to be a bear, be a grizzly.

i used around 6 to 12 eggs to made my omelet. a good healthy omelet is that you can added chicken and visitable in your omelet. this way the omelet give you healthy protein. this feeds up to 6 to 7 people.

I'm shocked at how many eggs people use! Two or three .. it takes a little practice to get a layer of egg around everything. Man! Six to twelve eggs some here use ... wonder what thier colesterol levels look like. You eat a 12 egg omlet just make sure you have the cardiac paddles handy.

Between 2 and 4 eggs.....it depends on how hungry you are and if you are having anything else with it.

I use one egg per person and an extra egg for the pan! (does that make sense?)

2 to 3 per person, same as a plate order . . . any more than that and the arteries seize up. (remember to add a bit of milk to the mix for fluffyness !)
