Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, and pepper.
Gently beat the mixture with a fork until the yolks and whites are well combined, and everything is a uniform color. Avoid over-beating as it introduces air bubbles.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until it is warm and begins to shine, but not smoking.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center while maintaining the round shape of the omelette.
Once the egg mixture is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, tilt the pan to fill in empty spaces with the remaining uncooked egg.
Once the omelette has reached your desired doneness, sprinkle the fresh chives over half of the omelette.
With the spatula, gently fold the omelette in half and allow it to sit in the pan for a few more seconds to finish cooking.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
