Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add sea salt and black pepper, and blend thoroughly using a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to lightly foam, coating the base of the pan evenly.
Ensure the skillet is hot but not smoking, then pour in the beaten eggs. Stir continuously with a spatula as the eggs begin to set, pulling the cooked edges towards the center to cook evenly.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and let them sit for 10-15 seconds.
Using the spatula, gently fold one side of the omelette towards the center. Then, tilt the pan, and fold the other side over, creating a trifold shape.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, seam side down, to maintain its shape.
Sprinkle with finely chopped chives for garnish, if using. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.
