Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, continuing to whisk gently to integrate the seasoning evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter begins to foam but not brown, pour the beaten eggs into the center of the skillet. Let the edges begin to set slightly.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges into the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue cooking until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Stop stirring and allow the omelet to sit for a few more seconds to let the bottom fully set and take shape.
Carefully lift one edge of the omelet with the spatula, then gently fold it over in half to form a semi-circle.
Slide the omelet onto a serving plate, seam side down. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately for a light and satisfying low-carb meal.
