Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cream or milk
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cream or milk and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.
Once the butter is fully melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Hold the pan handle with one hand and a spatula with the other.
Using the spatula, continuously stir the eggs with gentle folding motions while simultaneously shaking the pan with your other hand. This will ensure that the eggs cook evenly and create small, delicate curds.
As the eggs start to set but are still slightly wet on top, stop stirring and let the eggs sit for just 10-15 seconds to allow the base to firm up slightly.
Sprinkle the fresh chopped chives over the surface of the omelette.
Hold the pan at a slight angle and use the spatula to fold one side of the omelette over the center. Gently tip the pan to ease the omelette onto a plate, seam side down.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, garnish with a few extra chives on top.
