Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until the mixture is smooth and no visible egg whites remain.
Chop the chives finely if you are using them as a garnish. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, tilting the pan so the butter coats the bottom evenly. Do not let the butter brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. It should gently spread to the edges without any stirring at this stage.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the outside towards the center to form a thick custard-like consistency. Continue this until the eggs are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny on top, about another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the residual heat continue to cook the eggs to your desired consistency.
Gently fold one-third of the omelette over towards the center, using a spatula to help guide it. Then, fold the opposite third over on top of the first fold, creating a cylindrical shape.
Tilt the skillet over a plate and roll the omelette off onto the plate, seam side down.
Garnish with chopped chives if using and serve immediately.
